Music Monday – “Everything is better with some cows around/Living in town sometimes brings me down/Let me bestow this western blessing and share what I have found/May you always have cows around”

According to last.fm, this was my most played song of the summer. Having camped with a farming/ranching family on one side and a guy who was not only a farmer/rancher but a cattle buyer at a livestock exchange on our other side, I can understand why! 😉 “Cows Around” – Corb Lund
