The Running Blood

(album: The Horse Legends - 1997)

I'm a big race horse
I can run so fast
I don't even think about being last
When I make my move
I don't feel no pain
I got running blood rushing through my veins

So don't hold on
Don't hold back
If you gonna run
On the winning track
'Cause trying hard is not enough
You've got to have the running blood

(Yeah)

I wanna feel the wind blowing through my mane
I can't be held back and I can't be tamed
I'm a wild horse running across the plains
I got running blood so cut loose my reins

So don't hold on
Don't hold back
If you gonna run
On the winning track
'Cause trying hard is not enough
You've got to have the running blood

I'm gonna have a winning season
You're really gonna see me shine
God gave me strong legs for a reason
To be the first to cross the line

At the starting gate
Hear that pistol crack
Feel the muscles rippling across my back
When I make my move I'll give it all my strength
When that running blood beats 'em by a length

So don't hold on
Don't hold back
If you gonna run
On the winning track
'Cause trying hard is not enough
You've got to have the running blood

Don't hold on
Don't hold back
If you gonna run
On the winning track
'Cause trying hard is not enough
You've got to have the running blood

(Hah)
