The Range War

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your daddy runs sheep and my uncle runs cattle Nothing can keep us out of this battle they wage As it burns up the range Till no man is left In the saddle [Verse 2] Your ranch is upstream and they dammed up the water Thirsty cows scream for my uncle to slaughter the sheep While your daddy's asleep And I do the same for his daughter [Bridge] If I had my own way We would be together back in Pittsburgh It's the only town east of the river I know And I feel kinda bad Bringin' our grief upon this poor old farmer's house But we ain't got nowhere else to go [Verse 3] Three years on this range since they started the range war Nothing has changed except maybe change for the worst If I'd married you first There might not have been any range war You wouldn't be lost to the range war
