"Cows Around" lyrics

"Cows Around"

Well, 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 invite 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 leave you saddle bound
May you always have cows around

What else can make the bishop swear like a sailor might?
What else can 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 gate?
What else'll make you prematurely show your age?
What else'll take a run at you in a fit of bovine rage?
May you always have cows around

Well, 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, West, Black and Maine
Anjou, Chianina, Limousine, Shorthorn, Charlolais, Watusi too
Texas Longhorn, Kuri, any Roman, Nelore, Galloway, Red Angus
Brahman, Brangus, Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein, hey

Well, you might had to let 'em dig for oil and gas
You might had to turn the place to an exotic game ranch
You might had to do all kind of things to raise the cash
So you'd always have cows around

Well, how else you gonna lose it all like daddy did?
What else will make sure you leave nothing for your kids?
It's too late now, you know it is, you might as well admit
That you'd a barley floating, sentimental, masochisticness
And that despite all the statistics and the advice that you get
You will always have cows around

Yeah, everything is better with some cows around
Living in town sometimes brings me down
Well, you won't know what your missing till you hear that sound
May you always have cows around
May you always have cows around
