Ichabod & Abraham
He put on his shirt carefully Making sure that the buttons matched up His sleeves were always too short But at least it meant he could always see his watch
And often he checked the time And it would be stopped He always thought it was broken But then he'd remember he had to wind it, oh
Though he knew some day He'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all Maybe that would happen On the exact day he didn't think it was broken
Isn't that the way it works Isn't that the way it goes While the fox he lurks And while the rooster crows
Isn't that the way things are The way the world ain't flat But you can only run so far Before you make it back
He could drink from the sink By craning his head far to one side The day he figured that out One of the horses died
It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive It was the one who could barely stand We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages From inside from one of the kitchen drawers
We called him stretch 'Cause he was so skinny and tall Momma said both twins rarely live with horses We was lucky to have one livin' at all
And me and my momma slept Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup All us kids piled in, I remember the momma horse Lickin' and cleaning up her newborn babies
She was working so hard (She was working so hard) She was working so hard (She was working so hard)
She was working so hard She was working so hard She was working so hard She was working so hard
Isn't that the way it works Isn't that the way it goes While the fox he lurks And while the rooster crows
Isn't that the way things are The way the world ain't flat You can only run so far Before you make it back
Isn't that the way it works Isn't that the way it goes While the fox he lurks And while the rooster crows
Isn't that the way things are The way the world ain't flat You can only run so far Before you make it back
You can only run so far You can only run so far Before you make it Before you make it back
