Saddle Storms - Cows on the County Road

COWS ON THE COUNTY ROAD | Saddle Storms | Badges and Bonfires Album

Gerald is back on Highway 28. Again. Officer responds professionally, gets one contained, and reports that the other three simply didn't want to speak to him. Gerald has never cooperated. Gerald will never cooperate. This is his county road now.

Gerald is back on Highway 28 — three wandered south without a word and one got contained, which is honestly a Tuesday win in rural law enforcement. This is a love letter to every Wyoming officer who's ever stood in the red and blue light negotiating with livestock while dispatch bites her lip and quietly pours out her cold coffee. Gerald has never cooperated. Gerald will never cooperate. And yet here we are. Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics: [VERSE 1] Well dispatch lit up about a quarter to nine Got a call about some cattle on the county line Officer sighed and grabbed his hat real slow Said this is the third time today Lord here we go Rolled up on the scene and sure enough there they stood Four head of cattle three brown and one black [VERSE 2] He stepped out of his unit tried to look official Addressed the situation in a manner most judicial Said alright now listen up y'all need to move along Three of em just looked at him and said son you got it wrong Turned their backs and wandered off into the dark Left one standing there just making her own remark [CHORUS] Cows on the county road again tonight Holding up the traffic in the red and blue light Three didn't want to speak to him just wandered off free Got one contained and called it in professionally Cows on the county road don't care about your badge Don't care about your authority or the training that you had at the academy Just another Tuesday in this county that we know Got cows on the county road [VERSE 3] He got on the radio professional and tight Said dispatch got one contained the others took flight Didn't want to speak to me just wandered to the south Dispatch bit her lip real hard to keep from laughing out loud Said copy that good work out there anything you need? He said yeah about three cattle and a rancher who can read [BRIDGE — spoken, deadpan officer voice] This is not what I envisioned When I pinned on this badge Standing on Highway 28 At nine o'clock on a Tuesday Negotiating with Gerald. Again. Gerald never cooperates. Gerald has never once cooperated. Gerald will never cooperate. And yet. Here we are again. [FINAL CHORUS] Cows on the county road again tonight Holding up the traffic in the red and blue light Three didn't want to speak to him just wandered off free Got one contained and called it in professionally Cows on the county road don't care about your badge Don't care about your authority or the training that you had Just another Tuesday in this county that we know Got cows on the county road [OUTRO — warm, almost fond] Dispatch poured her cold coffee out Started a fresh pot Knew it'd be cold again Before Gerald was back in his pen Just another night On the county road
