Countin' the Cows Every Day 

By: Jimmy Buffett 

1975 

Oh I'm just a cowboy, an old hired hand 

Never seen nothin' majestic or grand 

I just received a great big tax return 

Now I'm off to Las Vegas with money to burn 



It's been a while since I last left this town 

Bought a new suit and I'm Nevada bound 

Gonna make it, gonna break it, I've been there before 

Nothin's gone wrong, this town's such a bore 



Chorus: 

Aw, the train leaves at seven, all go to heaven 

Nothin' here to make me stay 

'Cause that Las Vegas glitter sure beats kitty litter 

Countin' the cows every day 



Chorus: 

Yeah, the train leaves at seven, on up to heaven 

Nothin' here to make me stay 

'Cause that Las Vegas glitter sure beats kitty litter 

Countin' the cows every day 

And countin' the cows every day
