Cows Around - Corb Lund

Well everything is better with some cows around

Livin in town sometimes brings me down

Let me bestow this western blessing 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 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 the frustration that you can

May you always have cows around

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
