Testo Horse - Christopher Paul Stelling
Testo della canzone Horse (Christopher Paul Stelling), tratta dall'album Labor Against Waste
I dragged that horse to water, you know he wouldn't drink
I shot him in the shallows before I had the time to think
Now I'm out here on foot, still gotta cross the great divide
I'm feeling awful lonesome, wishing I still had a horse to ride
Come on, now
My daddy always told me not to play around with matches
Got me a hold of a flamethrower, how that fire catches
Wouldn't you know it, me and daddy and mama didn't have, nowhere left to live
I was quick to remind daddy, though Jesus preached we all should just forgive
Forgive, forgive
They took me to the river to get my spirit clean
Wouldn't you know it buddy, like nothing you'd ever seen
That river spit me out and threw my bare ass right there up against the shore
Oh, I swear it started raining blood and the thunder start to roar
Preached screamed that boy got the devil in him, let's burn him at the stake
My mama jumped in front of me and told them all to wait
She said, "My baby got the devil in him, oh, he got the devil in him too"
She said, "My baby never hurt a fly, but look what y'all was about to do"
Mama said now
Oh, I dragged that horse to water, that bastard wouldn't drink
So I shot him in the shallows before I had the time to think
Now I'm out here on foot, still gotta cross the great divide
Oh, feeling awful lonesome wishing I still had that horse to ride
Now that I'm a grown man, not as young as I once were
Reckon in my growing that I found myself a cure
Settle down, take your time and try not to get caught up in all that haste
But I reckon if it ever came to blows, I'd still lay some fool to waste
