I Milk Cows

Lyrics

[Chorus] I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God [Verse 3] 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 carryin' on where my father left off [Chorus] I milk cows, I grow spuds, I drive tractors, I fix pumps I plough dirt, I run stock, life's good, I thank God [Outro] 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
