With given name To stir the soul On intrepid hoof Ten wide I load Anticipating only An opening of gate My heart pumping fire Having been schooled to wait So look for me Where the turn meets the stretch I'll be the one That leads by a neck With this thought dominating A problem it poses So I feed on the strain Having tasted the roses Some never try Some never stop trying Right now I am the difference Between living and dying Kicking clear on the backside An open garden spot left I begin inhaling opponents Like a favorite cigarette With nothing but daylight Between me and the wire I break spirits on dirt To satisfy inborn desire Crossing the line Catching breath in one blow I understand only to win Lest place or show Collecting silver cups As ruler of this oval nation Ladies and gentlemen presenting A horse named "Citation"
