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,but he has struck a reef I said 'hey man let's go out and get some wisdom' But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system You take a horse to water but you can't make him drink Oh no, oh no, oh no You can have it all layed/staked out in front of you but it still don't make you think Oh no, oh no, oh no Someone I love is gotta problem Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink I said 'Hey man this could turn out to be risky' He said 'everything's ok' as he downed another bottle of whiskey There's a preacher out there warned me about Satan Could be that he knows him Cause' He acts like he's possessed
