Intro: D G Em A
D G Em A
The cows in the moo yard are making their plans
G Em D A
For the long winter nights and the cold winter hands
D G Em A
Some out in the fields, are covered with snow
G Em D A
The black ones turn white and the white ones don't show
D G Em A
Big lumps in the sunset, between bovine dreams
G Em D A
Their icicled udders are waiting for spring
D G Em A
And up from the road, comes the sound of the wheel
G Em D A
Just an old ice cream wagon, they say, "I know how you feel"
D G Em A
Some dream of India, where their cousins are stars
G Em D A
But they don't like the crowds, they stay where they are
D G Em A
And some dream of Florida, of roaming the beach
G Em D A
With metal detectors for gold they can reach
D G Em A
Well, what can you do? It's the ice or the flies
G Em D A
The temperature slowing, the tails going by
D G Em A
It's a dairy existence, and I must conclude
G Em D A
Cold milk in a bottle still beats frozen food
