Lead a Horse to Water

Late last night, the girls came around
Said you were buckin' with a filly at the Hilltop Lounge
You're sad, you left in your Chevrolet
Kicking up dust as you drove away

Let me tell ya, honey, justa what I think
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

In her skin-tight jeans and her cowboy boots
She took a little roll in the hay with you
Then she turned you out, closed the gate
Now, you're back in my barn, but it's a little too late

Let me tell ya, honey, justa what I think
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

Well, my bridle was easy, my saddle was light
Took a little ride most every night
Don't know why you thought you needed more
'Cause you ain't no racehorse, that's for sure

Now, your mane's all tangled, and you lost a shoe
What in the world did you think I'd do?
The pasture's mowed, and the trough is dry
When you get to that stall, you can walk on by

'Cause let me tell ya, honey, justa what I think
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

Well, my bridle was easy, my saddle was light
Took a little ride most every night
Don't know why you thought you needed more
'Cause you ain't no racehorse, that's for sure

Now, your mane's all tangled, and you lost a shoe
What did you think I was gonna do?
The pasture's mowed and the trough is dry
When you get to that stall, you can walk on by

'Cause let me tell ya, honey, justa what I think
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

Let me tell ya, honey, justa what I think
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink, ow!
