Cows Around

Well, everything is better with some cows around

Livin' 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

C'mon, you know that you got too much time on your hands

Not merely enough complication in your plans

You need to invite all of the frustration that you can

May you always have cows around

Well, everything is better with some cows around

Livin' in town sometimes brings me down

Let me bestow this western blessing leave you saddle bound

May you always have cow 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 ya don't close the gate?

What else'll make ya 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

Livin' in town sometimes brings me down

And although this western blessing leaves you cattle bound

May you always have cows around

Ya mighta had to do all kinds of things to raise the cash

How else ya 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 might as well admit
