Trust Nothing but the Horses

I went to the country with such little effect

To find my daughter there, and maybe break my back

I called my father, I said my fingers, they're down to the bone

But bankers don't bother much when they're just bleedin' a stone

'Cause things in general, well, they're already settled

Things in general, well, they're already won

I woke up early and I saw headlights out on the hill

And I thought about my mother and the winter when she fell

She told me if I knew now how good I had it back then

I'd change a thousand decisions and come to inspire millions of men

'Cause things in general, well, they're already settled

Things in general, well, they're already won

I went to the country with such little effect

To find my daughter there, and maybe break my back

I called my father, I said my fingers, they're down to the bone

But bankers don't bother much when they're just bleedin' a stone

'Cause things in general, well, they're already settled

Things in general, well, they're already won
