Earl and Rich were mighty tough old birds.
But one sunny afternoon something awful occurs
Ennis' dad made sure his sons saw
"Laß sein. Laß sein."

But one sunny afternoon something awful occurs
Ennis' dad made sure his sons saw
Not caring about any law
Or that Ennis would now stifle his words.
A companion where none had been expected...

Cows need attention, they're not like the ewes,

Cows need attention, they're not like the ewes,
They needed help delivering the calves.

They needed help delivering the calves.
Couldn't divide the work in halves
He knew Jack was angry, about to abuse.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
