Cow Town Lyrics - Carly Simon

Donald Swan, he was a millionaire 

>From a Texas oil family 

But he still worked hard and believed in God 

He was a man of integrity 

He went to France on business 

Met a woman there named Simone 

She saw love in the eyes of the American guy 

And she didn't like to be alone 

(Chorus) 

Now it's a cow town 

It's a cow town 

For Simone Swann 

Living on the Buffalo Bayou

She packed up all her perfume 

For the gusty pioneer 

On a carefree note he said, "Forget your coat 

There's a chill about every ten years" 

So they flew hand in hand to Houston 

Home of Exxon, Gulf and Shell 

He said we have an income bigger than France 

We all think that's swell 

He loved her French accent 

And her knowledge of the arts 

And she, for one, had always fancied 

Having a millionaire sweetheart 

So they got married up in Dripping Springs 

Flew her Mama in from Cannes 

She said: "What kind of romance could make 

My baby leave France 

Donald must be some kind of Don Juan"

Now she thinks about France and the nightlife there 

And it's cafes and bistros 

Donald, a hard working, simple man 

Likes to see the livestock shows 

And when he's not off on business 

He's off checkin' out cows and pigs 

And she gets weary on a twelve mile prairie 

Starin' at the drilling rigs 

Now it's a cow town 

It's a cow town
