Old cow your bones are brilliant
As they bask there in the sun~
How you've paid for drought conditions
And now your time on earth is done~
You died out upon this lonely plain
Without a blade of grass at all~
No water holes out here not one
And no rain ever seems to fall~
Your soul has to be in a better place
Far better than out here old cow~
You died from thirst and starvation
And this place looks no different now~
Its still an arid and heartless land
And there's no cows out here but you now~
But I feel they d know what you went through
And how you died somehow~
But you never died for nil old cow
You still act as a memory and a sign~
That this place is no place to be
And a **** good place to leave behind~
