Lyrics

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
Well, everything is better with some cows around
Living in town sometimes brings me down
Let me bestow this western blessing an' leave you cattle bound
May you always have cows around
What else could make the 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 gate
What else will 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
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, Welsh Black and Maine Anjou
Chianina, Limousin, Shorthorn, Charolais, Watusi, too
Texas Longhorn, Corriente, Romagnola, Galloway
And Angus, Brahma, Brangus, Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein, hey
Well, you mighta had to let 'em dig for oil and gas
You mighta had to turn the place to an exotic game ranch
You mighta had to do all kinds 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 nothin' for your kids?
It's too late now, you know it is, you'd just as well admit
That you've 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, yeah
Everything is better with some cows around
Living in town sometimes brings me down
Well, you won't know what you're missing
'Til you (moo) hear that sound
May you always have cows around
May you always have cows around (moooo, mooo)
