Yer Daddy runs sheep and my uncle runs cattle |
|
Nothing can keep us out of this battle they wage as it burns up the plains |
|
till no one is left in the saddle |
|
Your ranch is upstream and they've dammed up the water |
|
Thirsty cows scream for my uncle to slaughter the sheep while yer Daddy's asleep |
|
and I'll do the same for his daughter |
|
If I'd had my way we would be together back in Pittsburgh |
|
It's the only town east of the river I know |
|
And I feel kinda bad, bringing grief upon a farmer's house |
|
but we ain't got nowhere left to go |
|
Three years on this range since they started the range war |
|
Nothing has changed, except maybe change for the worse |
|
If you'd married me first there would not have been any range war |
|
You would not have been lost to the range war |
