Sometimes in the morning
Wish I could stay in bed
I'd hold my nose and pull the covers
Up over my head

Get a ticket on the way to work
Every now and then
Cause I'm in such a hurry
To get away from where I've been

In a crowded public bathroom
I'll push my way to the front
There's no way of knowing
When I'll feel like throwing up

Be standing in a cornfield
And pull out my Fabreez
But there's no way to drown out
Those old memories

That's just a pasture
Summer '88
That's just a cow farm
And a rusty old gate

That's just muddy water
I can smell from miles away
And those nasty cow pies
Thrown in just in case

That's just my stomach
With a pain the size of Texas
But I'll overcome it
Once I get rid of my breakfast

I know sometimes I may act a little crazy
But that's just Bessie

Sometimes in the evening
I'll drive past a Burger King
And the light turns red I have to stop
And I start remembering

Then I catch the scent of whoppers
Cooking on the grill
And I think of where they came from
Pull over cause I'm ill

That's just a pasture
Summer '88
That's just a cow farm
And a rusty old gate

That's just muddy water
I can smell from miles away
And those nasty cow pies
Thrown in just in case

That's just my stomach
With a pain the size of Texas
But I'll overcome it
Once I get rid of my breakfast

I know sometimes I may act a little crazy
But that's just Bessie

That's just Bessie
Rolling in the mud
That's just a food trough
That's never been cleaned up

That's just muddy water
I can smell from miles away
And those nasty cow pies
Thrown in just in case

That's just my stomach
With a pain the size of Texas
But I'll overcome it
Once I get rid of my breakfast

I know sometimes I may act a little crazy
But that's just Bessie
