If a good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
Why then do I take the trip?
I sing for the ones who’ve passed and gone
Or should I say they sing for me
Telling me of the time that they lived
Things they wish they would have done
Saying, “Son, it’s your time.”
A good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
Why then do I take a sip
Oh now when the battle gets harder and harder
There’s too much fire and I need some water
A good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
Why then do I take a sip
A good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
And then a take a trip
A good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
Hey I know, know I’m gonna get the whip, yeah
Destiny finds those who are listening
Fate catches up with all the rest
Are you heading all the callings and the warnings
Learn what you can
‘Cause its not a test, oh
Find in trees
Books in running brooks
There’s sermons in stones
And there’s stories from the bones
Because a good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
Why then do I take a sip
When I know the route its the same it was the last time
You take the trip
Then you pay the fine
A good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
When then do I take the sip
A good horse runs by the shadow of a whip
I take a sip and then I take the trip
