Cows Around - Corb Lund
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
Not nearly enough complication in your plans
You need to embrace all
Of the frustration that you can
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 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
Everything is better with some cows around
Living in town sometimes brings me down
And although this western blessing
Leaves you cattle bound
May you always have cows around
What kinda cows corb
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 them 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 might as well admit
That You a badly flawed
Sentimental masochisticness
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
Well You won't know what you're missing
Till you hear that sound
May you always have cows around
May you always have cows around
