From the recording Cowboy Country
Lyrics
And he used to know the way here
He was the one that they would come to
Sometimes it was a good year
But now there’s nothing left to do
And he had a wife and daughter
And he loved them never thought he could love
And he loved his horse well sorta
Until it stopped when it had had enough
And all he finds
Is a bigger piece of nothing
And all he finds
Is a bigger piece of nothing
And there came a revolution
There was no need for a man of his trade
They don’t care about devotion
The machine took it all away
And they came from all directions
And each one offered a much better deal
Yes they’d cut it into sections
You’ll never go without a meal
Yes you will live the high life
The envy of the richest of men
Think of your daughter and wife
It sure beats counting pigs cows and hens
And all he finds
Is a bigger piece of nothing
And all he finds
Is a bigger piece of nothing
