Cows Around

歌詞

Everything is better with some cows around Living in town sometimes brings me down Let me bestow this western blessing and share what i have found May you always have cows around What else you gonna spend that extra money on What else is gonna get you up hours before dawn What else is gonna keep you toiling on and on and on May you always have cows around Come on, you know that you got too much time on your hands And not nearly enough complication in your plans You need to embrace all of the frustration that you can May you always have cows around What else is gonna make your pony puff and wheeze Or make you calve 'em out at below forty degrees What else is gonna eat you right completely out of feed May you always have cows around Everything is better with some cows around Living in town sometimes brings me down Let me bestow this western blessing and leave you cattle bound May you always have cows around What else could make a bishop swear like a sailor might What else could cause such tension between a man and his wife What else could ever bring all these enhancements to your life May you always have cows around What else is gonna get out when you don't close the gates What else is gonna make you prematurely show your age What else will take a run at you in a fit of bovine rage May you always have cows around You'd barely get to see your banker otherwise You'd never get to fix no fence or buy no barbed wires Nor have some mangy neighbor's bull come breed the heifers that you prize May you always have cows around Everything is better with some cows around Living in town sometimes brings me down Let me bestow this western blessing and leave you saddle bound May you always have cows around What kinda cows? Well, there's Hereford, Highland, Simmental, Welsh Black and Maine Anjou Chianina, Limousin, Shorthorn, Charolais, Watusi, too Texas Longhorn, Corriente, Romagnola, Galloway And Angus, Brahma, Brangus, Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein, hey You mighta had to let em dig for oil and gas You mighta had to turn the place into an exotic game ranch You mighta had to do all kinds of things to raise the cash So you'd always have cows around How else you gonna lose it all like daddy did What else will make sure you leave nothin' for your kids? It's too late now, you know it is, you'd just as well admit You have a badly flawed and sentimental masochistic-ness And that despite all the statistics and the advice that you get You will always have cows around Everything is better with some cows around Living in town sometimes brings me down You won't know what you're missing till you hear that sound May you always have cows around
