Bill Callahan - Drover Lyrics
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
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

Please, don't try to hurt them. let the cattle Alone, don't eat them. Give a good Look at the cows to see they are superior to the human beings. No doubt!

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!

Feels personal doesn't it? Thank you for being one of us lucky few who know and understand this. Others are less fortunate. Others aren't as intelligent as you and I. :)
Thanx Hannah for the lyrix. The cattle drovers from Antelope .... There are similar drovers in Europe nowadays ... we stay open-hearted and meditate ...
A song for a lonely wolf
This song makes me so sad, but I love it. When I put this vinyl on my girlfriend knows that I'm feeling like dying
I get goosebumps
When zombies attack your cow farm in minecraft
Nice work. The sound was just excellent, the whole texture of this just sucked me in.
Wild, Wild country
Can u suggest more like wild country
takes a strong strong, breaks a strong strong mind
