Horse To The Water - Jools Holland, Sam Brown

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 is struggling

I 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 him drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can have it all laid out in front of you but still won’t make it think

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Someone I love has got a problem

Some people thirst for truth, he would like a drink

I said, «Hey man, this could 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 him drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can have it all staked out in front of you but still won’t make it sink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Preacher at my church likes to talk about Satan

Could be that he knows him, he acts like he’s possessed

I said, «Hey man, let’s hear about God’s realization for a change»

He said, «We ain’t got time for that, first you must hear of the evils of

fornication»

You can take a horse to the water but you can’t make him drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can have it all staked out in front of you but still won’t make it sink

Oh no, oh no, oh no
