George Harrison - Horse To Water lyrics

You can take a horse to the water

but 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,but he has struck a reef

I said 'hey man let's go out and get some wisdom'

But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system

You take a horse to water but

you can't make him drink

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can have it all layed/staked out in front

of you but it still don't make you think

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Someone I love is gotta problem

Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink

I said 'Hey man this could turn out to be risky'

He said 'everything's ok' as he downed another bottle of whiskey

There's a preacher out there warned me about Satan

Could be that he knows him

Cause' He acts like he's possessed

I said 'Hey man let's hear about God realisation

For a change'

he said "We ain't got time for that

First you must hear the evils of fornication"
