My Daddy passed in May. Years ago he made me promise to play this at his funeral. I loved hearing it and it keeps me with him every time I hear it. Love this song.
Hey Big Daddy, I wrote the song back in 1989. Thanks for posting it ! I love his version, even though they got my name wrong (Ron Smith) on the CD should be Ron Simons but the CDs were already pressed, no respect for writers haha ! Pub: by Nashville Sound Music. Thanks again for posting it ! I have a couple more videos posted on RU-vid. Ron Simons
I love how the lyrics are simplistic and relatable, but yet they also have deep meaning :) I heard this song about 3 weeks ago. I was at Unicoi State Park in Georgia and there was a bluegrass band (Bound To Ramble) concert at night back in the woods. They did a great job on it and it stuck with me and now I get to hear the original :D
My brother-in-law tells back in the day they hung out with Del in Maryland when he'd play the Hideaway on the Golden Mile. His name is Glen Simons, any kin of yours? I've got a buddy that's writer from MD, Rich Fehle, I can't remember his publisher, a friend of friend wants to use him for some projects. I just can't believe guys like Del aren't on Nashville type Country stations! I stopped listening to mainstream Country in '79 when The Opry sold the back catalog of Porter & Dolly!
Del McCoury - Let An Old Racehorse Run Lyrics You know I don't do you wrong girl When I go out sometimes I'm just looking for answers I know I ain't gonna find I just feel like I'm drowning In this whole crazy scene I don't want my freedom Just a run now and then Chorus: Let an old racehorse run Let him open his stride Feel the wind in his mane again See the pride in his eyes Let him bring back old memories Of the races he's won There's a freedom that flows Way down in his soul Let an old racehorse run You know I do love you woman But I swear there are times When I'm watching the years slip away down that assembly line I've been on for the money I've got nothing to show I' gotta get out in the wind Every now and then and get out of control Chorus once Then: There's a freedom that flows Way down in his soul Let an old racehorse run
