Lyrics
I was ridin’ no-names on a dead-end rail,
Cheap tack dreams and a pocket full of fail,
They’d say “Just hold him steady, don’t you try too hard,”
Another last-place finish, another scar.
Yeah, the crowd never called, never knew my name,
Just a ghost in the dust on a losing lane,
But I kept that fire where the doubt don’t go,
Even long shots run when you let ‘em know.
Pre-Chorus
Every mile, every fall, every almost was close…
Chorus
I went from long shots to roses,
From broke to the best in the game,
From chasin’ the backstretch shadows
To puttin’ a crown on my name,
Yeah I fought through the mud, through the pain, through the doubt,
Now the whole damn world’s screamin’ it out,
Three rides, three wins, no slowing me down—
Yeah I turned one shot into a Triple Crown.
Verse 2
Then she walked in like a change in the wind,
Saw a fighter in a place I’d been,
Said “I got some horses, but they need a hand,”
So I bet my life on a second chance.
Sunrise grind in a quiet barn,
Young blood colts with a restless heart,
Years rolled by, then it all clicked in,
Started turning losses into wins.
Pre-Chorus
Every risk, every chance finally paying me back…
Chorus
I went from long shots to roses,
From broke to the best in the game,
From chasin’ the backstretch shadows
To puttin’ a crown on my name,
Yeah I fought through the mud, through the pain, through the doubt,
Now the whole damn world’s screamin’ it out,
Three rides, three wins, no slowing me down—
Yeah I turned one shot into a Triple Crown.
Bridge (más emocional + build)
Kentucky rain, yeah we ran through the storm,
Baltimore nights where a legend is born,
All eyes on me in New York lights,
One last run for the rest of my life…
I leaned in close, said “This is our time,”
Felt that thunder come alive,
Hit that stretch and we flew like a flame—
Ain’t nothin’ ever gonna be the same.
Final Chorus (más grande)
From long shots to roses,
Now they all know my name,
From dirt road losses
To the top of the game,
Yeah I fought through the mud, through the pain, through the doubt,
Now the whole damn world’s screamin’ it out,
Three rides, three wins, carved it in stone—
Yeah I made that Triple Crown my own.
Outro (hook repetible)
Long shots to roses… yeah that’s how it goes,
From the dust to the gold… yeah everybody knows.
