He put on his shirt carefully making sure that the buttons matched up[00:00:18]
His sleeves were always too short[00:00:23]
But at least it meant he could always see his watch[00:00:27]
And often he checked the time[00:00:32]
And it would be stopped[00:00:36]
He always thought it was broken[00:00:39]
But then he'd remember he had to wind it oh[00:00:42]
Though he knew some day he'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all[00:00:47]
Maybe that would happen on the exact day he didn't think it was broken[00:00:55]
Isn't that the way it works[00:01:03]
Isn't that the way it goes[00:01:06]
While the fox he lurks[00:01:10]
And while the rooster crows[00:01:14]
Isn't that the way things are[00:01:18]
The way the world ain't flat[00:01:22]
But you can only run so far before you make it back[00:01:25]
He could drink from the sink by craning his head far to one side[00:01:43]
The day he figured that out one of the horses died[00:01:50]
It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive[00:01:58]
It was the one who could barely stand[00:02:03]
We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages from inside from one of the kitchen drawers[00:02:06]
We called him stretch[00:02:14]
Cuz he was so skinny and tall[00:02:17]
Momma said both twins rarely live with horses[00:02:21]
We was lucky to have one livin at all[00:02:25]
And me and my momma slept in the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup[00:02:29]
All us kids piled in[00:02:37]
I remember the momma horse lickin and cleaning up her newborn babies[00:02:44]
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)[00:02:51]
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)[00:02:55]
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]
Isn't that the way it works[00:03:16]
Isn't that the way it goes[00:03:20]
While the fox he lurks[00:03:24]
And while the rooster crows[00:03:28]
Isn't that the way things are[00:03:32]
The way the world ain't flat[00:03:35]
You can only run so far before you make it back[00:03:39]
Isn't that the way it works[00:03:47]
Isn't that the way it goes[00:03:51]
While the fox he lurks[00:03:55]
And while the rooster crows[00:03:59]
Isn't that the way things are[00:04:03]
The way the world ain't flat[00:04:06]
You can only run so far before you make it back[00:04:10]
You can only run so far[00:04:18]
You can only run so far[00:04:22]
Before you make it before you make it back[00:04:28]
