Run For The Roses
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Jerry Garcia
Reach for the sun
Catch hold of the moon
They're both too heavy
But what can you do?
Reach for the stars
Smack into the sky
You don't want to live
But you're too chicken to die...
---chicken to die---
Run, run
Run for the roses
Sooner it opens
the quicker it closes
Man, oh, man
Oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
All good things in all good time
Reach for the rose
Get caught in the briar
You're warming to love
Next thing there's a fire
The trouble with love
is its other face
You just want the cup
you don't want the race
No, you don't want the race...
Run, run
Run for the roses
Sooner it opens
the quicker it closes
Man, oh, man
Oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
All good things in all good time
Run for the money
Caught short on the rent
Big ideas but
the money's all spent
If you got the do-re
I got the mi
And I got a notion
we're all at the sea
Yeah, we're all at the sea
Run, run
Run for the roses
Sooner it opens
the quicker it closes
Man, oh, man
Oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
All good things in all good time
