The Range War Lyrics

Todd Rundgren The Range War

Yore Daddy runs sheep and mah uncle runs cattle
  Nothin' can keep us out of this battle they wage
  As it burns up the range, 'til no man is left
  In the saddle
  Yore ranch is upstream and they dammed up the water
  Thirsty cows scream for mah uncle to slaughter
  The sheep while yore Daddy's asleep
  And I do the same for his daughter
  If I had my own way, we would be together
  Back in Pittsburgh
  It's the only town east of the river I know
  And I feel kinda bad, bringin' our grief
  Upon this pore old farmer's house
  But we ain't got nowhere else to go
  Three years on this range since they started the range war
  Nothing has changed except maybe change for the worst
  If I'd married you first,
  
there might not have been any range war
  You wouldn't be lost to the range war
