Ain't No Horse - NRBQ

Every day about sunset

There comes the king of roulette

He’ll cash his great big stacks

Every time that he bets

But last night feeling extra fine

He put the whole mess down on red

It came up double-zero

His luck has just run dead

Ain’t no sea can’t be crossed

Ain’t no ship that can’t be lost

Ain’t no horse that can’t be rode

Ain’t a man that can’t be thrown

Well, Elvin said to Melvin

«you never gonna get that girl

She’s too high class;

she’s beautiful;

She’s a woman of the world,»

Then Melvin learned to dance

And that gal she gave him a wink

Then Melvin turned to Elvin

He said: «i tell you this is what i think:»

There’s no sea can’t be crossed

Ain’t no ship that can’t be lost

Ain’t no horse that can’t be rode

Ain’t no man that can’t be thrown

Oohh

Ohh

Ohh

Oooh…

I’ll tell you all about Brenda

That girl, she could really paint

But all the critics told her

«where it is, you ain’t»

She heard her work to the people

And it was like they couldn’t even see 'em

But things can change and you know one day

They’ll be in a big museum

There’s no sea can’t be crossed

Ain’t no ship that can’t be lost

Ain’t no horse that can’t be rode

Ain’t no man that can’t be thrown

You know a man can’t live on bread alone

He’s gotta have something to spin it on

I heard about a group with too much cash

They came up with something really rash

They had the money;

they had the power

To build themselves a great big tower

You know, they never got to heaven

You know something, it went wrong

But check it out you can still hear em

Hear em babble on

Babble on

Babble babble babble

ON

There’s no sea can’t be crossed

Ain’t no ship that can’t be lost

Ain’t no horse that can’t be rode

Ain’t no man that can’t be thrown
