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 |
