Drover |
The real people went away |
But I’ll find a better word someday |
Leaving only me and my dreams |
My cattle |
And a resonator |
I drove all the beasts down |
Right under your nose |
The lumbering footloose power |
The bull and the rose |
Don’t touch them |
Don’t try to hurt them |
My cattle! |
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! |
One thing about this wild, wild country |
It takes a strong, strong, it breaks a strong, strong mind |
One thing about this wild, wild country |
It takes a strong, strong, it breaks a strong, strong mind |
And anything less, anything less, makes me feel like I’m wasting my time |
But the pain and frustration is not mine |
It belongs to the cattle |
Through the valley |
And when my cattle turns on me |
I was knocked back flat |
I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track |
And then I rose a colossal hand |
Buried in sand |
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 am a drover double fold |
My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone |
One thing about this wild, wild country |
It takes a strong, strong, it breaks a strong, strong mind |
And anything less, anything less, makes me feel like I’m wasting my time |
