Links Original music video:    • 16 Horsepower - Haw   Country music playlist:    • Country Music   16 Horsepower was an American country rock band based in Denver, Colorado, United States. Their music often invoked religious imagery dealing with conflict, redemption, punishment, and guilt through David Eugene Edwards's lyrics and the heavy use of traditional bluegrass, gospel, and Appalachian instrumentation cross-bred with rock. For the bulk of its career, the band consisted of Edwards, Jean-Yves Tola, and Pascal Humbert, the latter two formerly of the French band Passion Fodder. After releasing four studio albums and touring extensively, the group broke up in 2005, citing "mostly political and spiritual" differences. The members remain active in the groups Wovenhand and Lilium. 16 Horsepower is the first EP by the band of the same name. It was released on November 7, 1995. It is often referred to simply as the Haw EP amongst fans, noting to the title of the first track, written by Jean-yves Tola David Eugene Edwards. Lyrics Don't let your mind do all your walking Boy you'll stumble every time That road I seen the devil stalking Dealin' only with the dyin' G'on let the door hit 'em Where my hound dog shoulda bit 'em Leave him open, leave 'em there I don't care But baby don't look down Keep your, keep your arms around me Then he showed me how he caught ya Like a fish upon the line Slow reelin' in he brings you closer Like a poison that takes its time Roll over little lady Back and forth and twice around You're gonna bleed to get away There ain't no other way round But baby don't look down Keep your, keep your arms around me Hey, hey little baby There, there little boy Where, where little angel Over here my joy Hey, hey little baby There, there little girl Where, where little angel Over here my pearl But baby don't look down Keep your, keep your arms around me
