《Ichabod And Abraham》歌词

[00:00:18] He put on his shirt carefully making sure that the buttons matched up

[00:00:23] His sleeves were always too short

[00:00:27] But at least it meant he could always see his watch

[00:00:32] And often he checked the time

[00:00:36] And it would be stopped

[00:00:39] He always thought it was broken

[00:00:42] But then he'd remember he had to wind it oh

[00:00:47] Though he knew some day he'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all

[00:00:55] Maybe that would happen on the exact day he didn't think it was broken

[00:01:03] Isn't that the way it works

[00:01:06] Isn't that the way it goes

[00:01:10] While the fox he lurks

[00:01:14] And while the rooster crows

[00:01:18] Isn't that the way things are

[00:01:22] The way the world ain't flat

[00:01:25] But you can only run so far before you make it back

[00:01:43] He could drink from the sink by craning his head far to one side

[00:01:50] The day he figured that out one of the horses died

[00:01:58] It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive

[00:02:03] It was the one who could barely stand

[00:02:06] We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages from inside from one of the kitchen drawers

[00:02:14] We called him stretch

[00:02:17] Cuz he was so skinny and tall

[00:02:21] Momma said both twins rarely live with horses

[00:02:25] We was lucky to have one livin at all

[00:02:29] And me and my momma slept in the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup

[00:02:37] All us kids piled in

[00:02:44] I remember the momma horse lickin and cleaning up her newborn babies

[00:02:51] She was working so hard (she was working so hard)

[00:02:55] She was working so hard (she was working so hard)

[00:03:00] She was working so hard

[00:03:04] She was working so hard

[00:03:08] She was working so hard

[00:03:12] She was working so hard

[00:03:16] Isn't that the way it works

[00:03:20] Isn't that the way it goes

[00:03:24] While the fox he lurks

[00:03:28] And while the rooster crows

[00:03:32] Isn't that the way things are

[00:03:35] The way the world ain't flat

[00:03:39] You can only run so far before you make it back

[00:03:47] Isn't that the way it works

[00:03:51] Isn't that the way it goes

[00:03:55] While the fox he lurks

[00:03:59] And while the rooster crows

[00:04:03] Isn't that the way things are

[00:04:06] The way the world ain't flat

[00:04:10] You can only run so far before you make it back

[00:04:18] You can only run so far

[00:04:22] You can only run so far

[00:04:28] Before you make it before you make it back
