I Milk Cows

(album: Planet Country - 2009)

I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps
I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God

There's a shed out the back with a bench and a vice
A motor pulled down and irrigation pipes
When the pump won't pump, you strip it all down
When the things won't go you figure it out

I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps
I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God

Well I'm up for the dawn, I'm off to the shed
The herd comes in about 100 head
Well they're all my mates, I call 'em by name
There's Dolly and Daisy, Elvis and Jane

I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps
I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God

Will I get through the drought, I'm walkin in dust
And in a big wet, I'm sinking in mud
I learned from the best, I learned on the job
I'm carrying on where my father left off

I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps
I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God

I clear scrub, I cut wood, I get dry, a beer's good
I like it here, I hate crowds, it's my life, I milk cows
