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's 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 Chorus: You take a horse to 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 it still don't make you think Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love has gotta problem Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink said "Hey man, this could turned out to be risky" He said everything’s okay As he downed another bottle of whiskey Chorus There's a preacher out there warning me about Satan Could be that he knows him Cause' He acts like he's possessed I said 'Hey man let's hear about God realization for a change' He said "We ain't got time for that, because of the evils of fornication"
