[Chorus]
Run, run, run for the roses
Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes
Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine
All good things in all good time

[Verse 1]
Reach for the sun, got caught on the moon
They're both too heavy but what can you do?
Reach for the stars, smack into the sky
(Ooh, run for the roses, ooh)
You don't wanna live but you're chicken to die
Ooh, you're chicken to die

[Chorus]
Run, run, run for the roses
The quicker it opens, the sooner it closes
Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine
All good things in all good time

[Verse 2]
Run short of the money, got caught on the rеnt
Love of the cash but the monеy's all spent
The trouble with love is its other face
(Ooh, run for the roses, ooh)
You just want the cup but you don't want the race
No, you don't want the race
[Chorus]
Run, run, run for the roses
Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes
Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine
All good things in all good time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Reach for the rose, get caught on the briar
You're warming to love, next thing, there's a fire
You got the do re, I got the mi
(Ooh, run for the roses, ooh)
I got the notion, we're all at sea
Yes, we're all at sea

[Chorus]
Run, run, run for the roses
The quicker it opens, the sooner it closes
Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine
All good things in all good time
Run, run, run for the roses
Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes
Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine
All good things in all good time
Run, run, run for the roses
The quicker it opens, the sooner it closes
Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine
All good things in all good time
[Outro]
All good things in all good time
