[Verse 1] My dog waits by the screen door Tail taps on the floorboards Cat on the window ledge Like she owns the whole porch Fish in the blue bowl Glittering in the sun Puppy with the chewed-up shoe Guilty and proud, number one [Pre-Chorus] They all know my steps They all know my name Every little creature Moves to its own kind of frame [Chorus] Secretariat, run, run, run Little paws in the morning sun Secretariat, run, run, run Every heartbeats got a drum Secretariat, run, run, run Wild and gentle, everyone (secretariat, run) (secretariat, run) [Verse 2] My horse by the pasture gate Nose in the clover field Rabbit under the hydrangeas Soft as a secret shield Parrot on the back porch rail Talking like he knows Turtle in a painted shell Slow but he still goes [Pre-Chorus] I brush the fur, I fill the dish I laugh when they race around One little home full of fur and feathers Making the happiest sound [Chorus] Secretariat, run, run, run Little paws in the morning sun Secretariat, run, run, run Every heartbeats got a drum Secretariat, run, run, run Wild and gentle, everyone (secretariat, run) (secretariat, run) [Bridge] When the rain comes hard They crowd up close to me Warm little bodies Calm as they can be And I swear that love Wears fur, scales, and wings It comes home first With a wag and a sing [Final Chorus] Secretariat, run, run, run Little paws in the morning sun Secretariat, run, run, run Every heartbeats got a drum Secretariat, run, run, run Wild and gentle, everyone (secretariat, run) (secretariat, run)
