'the Range War' Lyrics - Singles - Rundgren Todd

Yore Daddy runs sheep and mah uncle runs cattle 

Nothin' can keep us out of this battle they wage 

As it burns up the range, 'til no man is left 

In the saddle 

Yore ranch is upstream and they dammed up the water 

Thirsty cows scream for mah uncle to slaughter 

The sheep while yore Daddy's asleep 

And I do the same for his daughter 

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 pore old farmer's house 

But we ain't got nowhere else to go 

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
