I am a symbol of your past
Of what a friend can be
For from the days expanding west
You have relied on me.
I helped you plow your fields of grain
And carried you upon my back
And as the wars for you all came
I helped you repel attack.
Across the vast and open lands
I did always stand up strong
When the herds of cattle strayed
Or failed to move along.
Then if you had some leisure time
I helped put on a show
Participating in the games
You called a rodeo.
Even in these modern times
I still keep up your paces
For I control the Sport Of Kings
By running in your races.
