Michael Martin Murphey - The Running Blood lyrics

I'm a big race horse I can run so fast I don't even think about bein' last When I make my move I don't feel no pain I got running blood rushin' through my veins So don't hold on Don't hold back If you gonna run On the winnin' track 'Cause tryin' hard is not enough You've got to have the runnin' blood (yeah) 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 runnin' across the plains I got runnin' blood so cut loose my reins So don't hold on Don't hold back If you gonna run On the winnin' track 'Cause tryin' hard is not enough You've got to have the runnin' 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 runnin' blood beats 'em by a length So don't hold on Don't hold back If you gonna run On the winnin' track 'Cause tryin' hard is not enough You've got to have the runnin' blood Don't hold on Don't hold back If you gonna run On the winnin' track 'Cause tryin' hard is not enough You've got to have the runnin' blood (hah)
