"You are what you eat" just doesn't quite say it like the song.
lyrics
Had a great cow and his name was Dan
but it's all according to the master plan
I keep a good cow as long as I can,
but he's gonna end up in my frying pan.
Cause I'm a cowboy. I'm a cowboy
A life I think is pretty neat
I'm a cowboy, I'm a cowboy
cows are what I eat.
Had a great cow and his name was Clyde
a cow that I befriended
and though I had him chicken-fried,
no disrespect intended.
Cause, I'm a cowboy. I'm a cowboy
A life I think is pretty neat
I'm a cowboy, I'm a cowboy
cows are what I eat.
I knew trouble well when I was young
and all the trouble trouble brung.
Once or twice almost got hung
My life was headed South.
'Til I cowboyed up on my two feet
found the thing that can't be beat,
a half a pound of brisket
headed straight for my mouth.
Had a great cow and her name was Sue
a pure bred standard setter
And though she was good company,
as a ribeye she was better.
I'm a cowboy. I'm a cowboy
A life I think is pretty neat
I'm a cowboy, I'm a cowboy
cows are what I eat.
I'm a cowboy. I'm a cowboy
And sometimes life just isn't fair
I'm a cowboy, I'm a cowboy
A great friendship with a cow .....is "rare".
