Chadwick Stokes - Ichabod & Abraham lyrics

He put on his shirt carefully Making sure that the bu*tons matched up His sleeves were always too short But at least it meant he could always see his watch And often he checked the time And it would be stopped He always thought it was broken But then he'd remember he had to wind it, oh Though he knew some day He'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all Maybe that would happen On the exact day he didn't think it was broken Isn't that the way it works Isn't that the way it goes While the fox he lurks And while the rooster crows Isn't that the way things are The way the world ain't flat But you can only run so far Before you make it back He could drink from the sink By craning his head far to one side The day he figured that out One of the horses died It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive It was the one who could barely stand We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages From inside from one of the kitchen drawers We called him stretch 'Cause he was so skinny and tall Momma said both twins rarely live with horses We was lucky to have one livin' at all And me and my momma slept In the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup All us kids piled in, I remember the momma horse Lickin' and cleaning up her newborn babies She was working so hard (She was working so hard) She was working so hard (She was working so hard) She was working so hard She was working so hard She was working so hard She was working so hard Isn't that the way it works Isn't that the way it goes While the fox he lurks And while the rooster crows Isn't that the way things are The way the world ain't flat You can only run so far Before you make it back Isn't that the way it works Isn't that the way it goes While the fox he lurks And while the rooster crows Isn't that the way things are The way the world ain't flat You can only run so far Before you make it back You can only run so far You can only run so far Before you make it Before you make it back
