Tickling Pigs and Pushing Cows
[Verse] Well, the sun's settin' low on the hills o’ Tennessee, Grandpa's got a grin, and a twinkle in his eye, you'll see, We head out to the barn in the twilight's golden glow, On tiny dusted roads where the bluegrass breezes blow. [Verse 2] We roll in the hay where the piglets roam free, Ticklin' their pink bellies as they squeal and flee, The cows are all lazy, chewin' cud in the stall, We push 'em gentle-like, watch 'em sway and sprawl. [Chorus] Ticklin' pigs and pushin' cows, laughter fills the air, In the heart of the country, we ain't got a care, Evenin's fun and folksy, under skies that never end, Just good ol' country livin' with family and friends. [Verse 3] Well, cousin Bobby hollers, “Watch 'em squeal and squirm!” The piglets scatter wide, kickin' up dust and germs, Ole Bessie's in the corner, lookin' droopy and slow, One nudge and she’s slidin', givin' us quite a show. [Verse 4] We sip on sweet tea while the night birds start to sing, The sound of laughin’ children makes the countryside ring, Chasin' all our troubles with the critters and the kin, Life’s simple pleasures, bringin' joy from within. [Bridge] When city folks come visit, they don't understand, Why we tickle pigs and push cows on this peaceful land, It's the simple joys we treasure, in the twilight glow, Life is richer, fuller, more than they’ll ever know.
