The Running Blood Michael Martin Murphey

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
