Ranching Man Lyrics by Volume Five

Drifter

2016

[Verse 1]
I believed every word that she told me
And I knew she meant well right from the start
Her daddy promised me wealth and riches
Was to come to me on a thousand-acre farm

[Chorus]
And it's a long way down to a ranch in Oklahoma
Through the hills I've come to understand
And you can't find true love with her daddy wavin' money
I ain't smart, but I'm more than a cowhand
I just ain't cut out to be no ranchin' man

[Verse 2]
I've worked my fingers to the bone
Mended fences, shoed horses, and built us a home
I lovе the girl, but I hate that man
And I swear I can't livе on this cursed piece of land

[Chorus]
And it's a long way down to a ranch in Oklahoma
Through the hills I've come to understand
And you can't find true love with her daddy wavin' money
I ain't smart, but I'm more than a cowhand
I just ain't cut out to be no ranchin' man

[Chorus]
And it's a long way down to a ranch in Oklahoma
Through the hills I've come to understand
And you can't find true love with her daddy wavin' money
I ain't smart, but I'm more than a cowhand
I just ain't cut out to be no ranchin' man
No, I won't ever be no ranchin' man
