The Running Blood
(Michael Martin Murphey)
1988 Timberwolf Music

I'm a big racehorse, 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

Chorus:
So don't hold on, don't hold back
If you're gonna run on the winning track
Trying hard is not enough
You've got to have the running blood

I wanna feel the wind blowin' 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've got running blood, so cut loose my reins

Repeat Chorus

I'm gonna have a winning season
You're gonna really 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 ripplin' across my back
When I make my move, I'll give it all my strength
When that running blood beats 'em by a length

Repeat Chorus twice
