Lyrics for Cow Town by Carly Simon:
| | | Artist: | Carly Simon |
| | Album: | Another Passenger | | Track: | Cow Town | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | Donald Swann, he was a millionaire
From a Texas oil family
But he still worked hard and
believed in God
He was a man of integrity
He went to France on business
Met a woman
there named Simone
She saw love in the eyes of the American guy
And she didn't like to be
alone
(Chorus)
Now it's a cow town
It's a cow town
For Simone
Swann
Living on the Buffalo Bayou
She packed up all her perfume
For the gusty
pioneer
On a carefree note he said "Forget your coat
There's a chill about every ten
years."
So they flew hand in hand to Houston
Home of Exxon, Gulf, and Shell
He said
we have an income bigger than France
We all think that's swell
He loved her French
accent
And her knowledge of the arts
And she, for one, had always fancied
Havin' a
millionaire sweetheart
So they got married up in Dripping Springs
Flew her mamma in from
Cannes
She said, "What kind of romance could make
My baby leave France
Donald must be
some kind of Don Juan."
Now she thinks about France and the night life there
And its
cafes and bistros
Donald, a hard working, simple man,
Likes to see the livestock
shows
And when he's not off on business
He's off checkin' out cows and pigs
And she
gets weary on a twelve mile prairie
Starin' at the drilling rigs
Now it's a cow
town
It's a cow town
For Simone Swann
