Horse To The Water

HORSE TO THE WATER
(George Harrison/Dhani Harrison)

You can take a horse to the water
You can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no

A friend of mine in so much misery
Some people sail through life,
he has struck a reef
Said: "Hey man, let's go out
and get some wisdom"
First he turned on me,
then turned off his nervous system

And you can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all layed out in front of you
But it don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love has got a problem
Some people thirst for truth,
he would like a drink
(He would like a drink)
Say: "Man, this could turn out to be risky"
He said: "Everything's okay"
as he downed another bottle of whisky

Yeah, you can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
And you can have it all staked out in front of you
But it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
A preacher out there warned me 'bout Satan
Could be that he knows him,
he acts like he's possessed
(He acts like he's possessed)
I said: "Hey man, let's hear about God realisation for a change"
He said: "We don't got time for
that first we must hear
the evils of fornication"
And you can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all staked out in front of you
But it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
(Horse to the water)
(You can't make him drink)
(All staked out in front of you)
(Don't make you think)
