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