Oats For Horses Lyrics

All my flannel's made in Bangladesh

All my t-shirts in Vietnam

Places that we quietly ignore

Places that we go and bomb

I thought an awful lot about Jesus

Even more about Lao Tzu

If the way of the dow is to do nothing

What the hell am I supposed to do?

I feel bad about being unkind

It makes my nose burn and my heart beat fast

I can't imagine what I said to y'all

I don't look forward to looking back

I'm singing this song about loving

All the people that you've come to hate

It's true what they say I'm gonna die someday

Why am I holding onto all this weight?

I really thought there'd be power

In thinking half of y'all are just born fools

Thought I'd be gathering oats for my horses

I'm still getting by whipping my mule

There's a book I read I don't remember

A place I've been I've never seen

A song that I wrote that I never sing

There's a man that I'll never be

All the stars in the sky are burning

Most are burning unbeknownst to me

Wish I would've paid more attention

To be the bigger things I couldn't see

But I'm a stupid and a miserable bastard

And I don't think I deserve to die

Surely there's a good reason for me being here

But I'm done always asking why..

I'm singing this song about loving

All the people that you've come to hate

It's true what they say I'm gonna die someday

Why am I holding onto all this weight?

I really thought there'd be power

In thinking half of y'all are just born fools

Thought I'd be gathering oats for my horses

I'm still getting by whipping my mule

Thought I'd be gathering oats for my horses

I'm still getting by whipping my mule
