| Just out of rehab, he’d been twenty-eight days clean
|
| A genuine, certified recovered dope fiend
|
| Just when we thought he’d put that drug all in his past
|
| He walked on down to Broadway, and that boy done relapsed
|
| Huh, I just had a laugh
|
| You get knocked off that horse, you get back on again
|
| Just the way it is, hey, and the way it’s always been
|
| No moral to the story, yeah, it’s just got an end
|
| You get knocked off that horse, you get back on again
|
| Buddy of mine got busted on a charge of possession
|
| All the time he served, you woulda thought he’d learned himself some sort of
|
| lesson
|
| But he walked right out of jail into a shootin' gallery
|
| And now he’s servin' seven years on a second felony
|
| Ain’t that just like a junky?
|
| You get knocked off that horse, you get back on again
|
| Just the way it is and the way it’s always been
|
| No moral to the story, yeah, it’s just got an end
|
| You get knocked off that horse, you get back on again
|
| They found him facedown in a needle and a spoon
|
| Picked him up and dropped him off at the emergency room (See ya later, buddy!)
|
| They all knew our friend, he was DOA
|
| He rode off t’ward that sunset with a smile on his face
|
| Ain’t that just like a John Wayne?
|
| You get knocked off that horse, you get back on again
|
| Just the way it is, hey, and the way it’s always been
|
| No moral to the story, yeah, it’s just got an end
|
| You get knocked off that horse, you get back on again
|
| Aw, ride on! |
