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