16 Horsepower - Coal Black Horses Lyrics

Just as sure as that sun's gonna shine
When he comes at his table, I will dine
Just as sure as that dog's gonna whine
In my heart, no longer will I pine

Just as sure as by evil you are torn
The sky will open up an' an angel blow his horn
And down come Jesus, lookin' so fine
Just as sure as that girl, she is mine

And I say, it's nothing
Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now
Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now

I dug a hole an' hollowed it out
Yes, an' I fell in
Oh Lord, I'm caught in the cord
The cord of my own sin

Shoot 'em up, cowboy, I got away
I've been draggin' this chain the whole way
Laid it down, boy, by the trail
Leave it there an' now look at me
An' I say, I say

Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now
Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now

Oh yeah, boys, I know an' I am certain
In your heart of heart ye all are hurtin'
No, no, no, not that name not to me
It's too hard to get down on my knees

Just as sure as by evil you are torn
The sky will open up an an angel blow his horn
An' down come Jesus, lookin' so fine
Just as sure as that girl, she is mine
An' I say, yes, an' I say

Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now
Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now

Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now
Hey, hey, hey, it's always forever
Hey, hey, hey, it's never or now
