I've heard songs about horses, saddles,
Silver spurs and guns
Good guys, outlaws and indians
And all the deeds they've done
But there's a bunch of unsung heroines,
Never recognized till now
See there wouldn't be no cowboys
If it wasn't for the cows
Just think about the history
Of how the west was won
If the pioneers were vegetarian
Wouldn't that have been a lot of fun
And now instead of ridin' pasture,
We'd all be pushin' plows
Cause there wouldn't be no cowboys
If there wasn't any cows
CHORUS:
Would anybody pay to see an an all sheep rodeo
Where would western fashion be if we only herded goats
Well the old ranch wouldn't smell the same
With a bunch of mother sows
Yeah there wouldn't be no cowboys
If it wasn't for the cows
Everywhere in this old world
The story is the same
In Scotland, Germany and Idaho they play the cowboy
game
But did you ever stop and think about
What would we be doin' now?
Cause there wouldn't be no cowboys if there wasn't any
cows
BRIDGE:
What would we do with our steak sauce?
Would we think Naugahyde was genuine?
How would we use words like trailboss?
Heck all kinds of questions come to mind
