Verse
D# Cm
He put on his shirt carefully, making sure that the buttons matched up
G#
His sleeves were always too short
D# A#
But at least it meant he could always see his watch
D#
And often he checked the time
Cm
And it would be stopped
G#
He always thought it was broken
D# A#
But then he'd remember he had to wind it, oh
D# Cm
Though he knew some day he'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all
G# D# A#
Maybe that would happen on the exact day he didn't think it was broken
[Chorus]
D#
Isn't that the way it works
Cm
Isn't that the way it goes
G#
While the fox he lurks
D#
And while the rooster crows
A# D#
Isn't that the way things are
Cm
The way the world ain't flat
G# D# A# D#
But you can only run so far before you make it back
[Verse 2]
D# Cm
He could drink from the sink by craning his head far to one side
G# D#
The day he figured that out, one of the horses died
A# D#
It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive
Cm
It was the one who could barely stand
G# D# A#
We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages from inside from one of the kitchen drawers
Cm
We called him stretch
G#
Cuz he was so skinny and tall
D#
Momma said both twins rarely live with horses
A#
We was lucky to have one livin at all
D# Cm
And me and my momma slept in the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup
G# D# A#
All us kids piled in
D#
I remember the momma horse lickin and cleaning up her newborn babies
Cm
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
G# D#
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
A# Cm
She was working so hard
G#
She was working so hard
D#
She was working so hard
A#
She was working so hard
[Chorus]
D#
Isn't that the way it works
Cm
Isn't that the way it goes
G#
While the fox he lurks
D#
And while the rooster crows
A# D#
Isn't that the way things are
Cm
The way the world ain't flat
G# D# A#
But you can only run so far before you make it back
Cm
Isn't that the way it works
G#
Isn't that the way it goes
D#
While the fox he lurks
A#
And while the rooster crows
Cm
Isn't that the way things are
G#
The way the world ain't flat
D# A#
You can only run so far before you make it back
Cm
You can only run so far
G#
You can only run so far
D# A# D# G# D# A# D#
Before you make it, before you make it back
