[00:18.79]He put on his shirt carefully making sure that the buttons matched up
[00:23.72]His sleeves were always too short
[00:27.27]But at least it meant he could always see his watch
[00:32.07]And often he checked the time
[00:36.13]And it would be stopped
[00:39.25]He always thought it was broken
[00:42.37]But then he'd remember he had to wind it oh
[00:47.42]Though he knew some day he'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all
[00:55.35]Maybe that would happen on the exact day he didn't think it was broken
[01:03.71]Isn't that the way it works
[01:06.03]Isn't that the way it goes
[01:10.15]While the fox he lurks
[01:14.90]And while the rooster crows
[01:18.13]Isn't that the way things are
[01:22.32]The way the world ain't flat
[01:25.51]But you can only run so far before you make it back
[01:43.63]He could drink from the sink by craning his head far to one side
[01:50.13]The day he figured that out one of the horses died
[01:58.00]It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive
[02:03.18]It was the one who could barely stand
[02:06.17]We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages from inside from one of the kitchen drawers
[02:14.20]We called him stretch
[02:17.95]Cuz he was so skinny and tall
[02:21.82]Momma said both twins rarely live with horses
[02:25.87]We was lucky to have one livin at all
[02:29.74]And me and my momma slept in the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup
[02:37.48]All us kids piled in
[02:44.66]I remember the momma horse lickin and cleaning up her newborn babies
[02:51.27]She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
[02:55.15]She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
[03:00.95]She was working so hard
[03:04.95]She was working so hard
[03:08.88]She was working so hard
[03:12.81]She was working so hard
[03:16.43]Isn't that the way it works
[03:20.12]Isn't that the way it goes
[03:24.06]While the fox he lurks
[03:28.55]And while the rooster crows
[03:32.11]Isn't that the way things are
[03:35.79]The way the world ain't flat
[03:39.41]You can only run so far before you make it back
[03:47.71]Isn't that the way it works
[03:51.52]Isn't that the way it goes
[03:55.51]While the fox he lurks
[03:59.94]And while the rooster crows
[04:03.30]Isn't that the way things are
[04:06.99]The way the world ain't flat
[04:10.74]You can only run so far before you make it back
[04:18.98]You can only run so far
[04:22.93]You can only run so far
[04:28.04]Before you make it before you make it back
