Secretariat - He Runs With the Wind

Secretariat

He Runs With The Wind

By Bob Orwig

Red mane – flowing in the wind

That blows every time he wins

But no one’s ever seen

Big Red busting out the gate

Coming home he leads by 28

And no one could believe

As he opened up his lead

(Chorus)

He runs with the wind

He lived his life to run, and he always runs to win

He runs with the wind – he runs with the wind

This time everybody knew

Sure bet with him you’ll never lose

And you never will again

This time by the quarter mile

He had it all wrapped up in style

And he opened up again

As he was coming round the bend

(Chorus)

Now he is just a memory

Could be the best we’ve ever seen

But I guess we’ll never know

Big Red running with the wind

That blows where no one’s ever been

And can never really go

But you can feel it don’t you know

(Chorus)
