Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The real people went away
[Verse 2]
I'll find a better way someday
Leavin' only me and my dreams
My cattle
And a resonator
[Verse 3]
I drove all the beasts down
Right under your nose
Lumbering footloose power
The bull and the rose
Don't touch them
Don't try to hurt them
My cattle
[Verse 4]
I drove them by the crops
And thought the crops were lost
I consoled myself with rudimentary thoughts
And I set my watch against the city clock, it was way off
[Verse 5]
Yeah, one thing about this wild, wild country
Takes a strong, strong, it breaks a strong, strong mind
Yeah, one thing about this wild, wild country
Takes a strong, strong, it breaks a strong, strong mind
And anything less, anything less
Makes me feel like I'm wastin' my time
[Verse 6]
But the pain and frustration
Is not mine
It belongs to the cattle
Through the valley
[Verse 7]
And when my cattle turns on me
I was knocked back flat
I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track
Then I rose a colossal hand buried, buried in sand
[Verse 8]
I rose like a drover
For I am in the end a drover
A drover by trade
And when my cattle turns on me
I'm a drover, double fold
[Verse 9]
My cattle bears it all away
For me and everyone
One, one, one, one, one
One, one, one, one, one
One, one, one, one, one, go
[Verse 10]
Yeah, one thing about this wild, wild country
Takes a strong, strong, it breaks a strong, strong mind
And anything less, anything less
Makes me feel like I'm wastin' my time
