Horse to the Water

You can take a horse to the water but

You can't make him drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

A friend of mine in so much misery

Some people sail through life, he has struck a reef

Said, "Hey, man, let's go out and get some wisdom"

First he turned on me, then turned off his nervous system

You can take a horse to the water but

You can't make it drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can have it all laid out in front of you but

Don't make you think

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Someone I love has got a problem

Some people thirst for truth, he would like a drink

Say, man, this could turn out to be risky

He said, "Everything's okay" as he downed another bottle of whiskey

You can take a horse to the water but

You can't make it drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can have it all staked out in front of you but

Still don't make you think

Oh no, oh no, oh no

A preacher out there warning me about Satan

Could be that he knows him

He acts like he is possessed

I said, "Hey, man, let's hear about God realization for a change"

He said, "We don't got time for that

First you must hear the evils of fornication"

You can take a horse to the water but

You can't make it drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can have it all staked out in front of you but

Still don't make you think

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Horse to the water

Can't make it drink

All staked out in front of you

Don't make you think
