Heed My Warning - Lyrics - B.b. King

You can lead a horse to water But you can't make him drink You can send a kid to college But you can't make him think You'll never miss your water, baby Till the well runs dry And you'll never miss me, baby Till I say good-bye Mm hm, you'd better heed my warning The straw that broke the camel's back Didn't have to be so big And when you ran off and left me, baby I almost blew my wig They say he who has the last laugh Always laughs the best And I'm gonna laugh louder, baby Than all the rest Mm hm, baby, you'd better heed You'd better heed my warning If you want me to get out, baby You know you don't have to push But you'll find a bird in hand Is worth two in the bush There's no need to lock the barn door When the cow is gone But you're gonna miss me, baby On some frosty dawn Mm hm, you know you'd better heed You'd better heed my warning It's a long, long road That don't have a turn You have to be an early bird If you wanna catch a worm They say absence makes The heart grow fonder So its plain to see If the grass look greener yonder Baby, that's where I'm gonna be Mm hm, baby, you know you'd better heed You'd better heed my warning
