The real people went away But I'll find a better way, someday Leaving only me and my dreams My cattle and a resonator I drove all the beast down right under your nose 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 Yet one thing about this wild, wild country It takes a strong, strong It breaks a strong, strong mind Yeah 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 Then I rose a colossal hand buried, buried in sand I rose like a drover For I am in the end the drover A drover by trade When my cattle turns on me I am a drover, double fold My cattle bears it all the way for me and everyone One, one, one, one, one, one ... Yeah 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
