Baxter Black: Dog Days In The Feedlot










Well, it's dog days in the feedlot
now that summer's nearly done

I been loafin' through the cattle
but the steers don't suffer none

They don't need much waterin', really,
they just eat and drink and snooze

Half the crew's been on vacation,
I took mine way back in June

Whoa! Better ride a little slower,
I might finish way too soon!

All the sick pens dang near empty,
'cept a few ol' chronic pets

So I pull the odd puffed-up one,
helps to justify the vets
But mostly I just check the pens
if there ain't no fats to ship.

And I do some contemplatin',
ain't nobody cracks the whip
