the cows came home

Singer:joe diffie

i'm used to havin' my breakfast in bed

never have to lift a finger to butter my bread

i keep my baby satisfied if you know what i mean

'cause she told me i'm walkin' talkin' love machine

lord

i got the self assurance of a king on a throne

cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home

the cows came home

the cows came home

i heard somethin' mooin'

turned around and she was gone

lord have mercy

the cows came home

the whole herd showed up when they heard she'd gone

but i guess it's better than bein' alone

well the slammin' of the door is like a pie in the face

but i got enough milk for the human race

i didn't have to clue that there was anything wrong

'cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home

the cows came home

the cows came home

i heard somethin' mooin'

turned around and she was gone

lord have mercy

the cows came home

i didn't see the writing on the wall

missed the invitation to the bovine ball

i didn't hear no cowbells ringin'

gonna have to face the music that the fat lady's singin'

the cows came home

the cows came home

i heard somethin' mooin'

turned around and she was gone

lord have mercy

the cows came home
