16 and close to home.













Leah always thought that she married a beef man.
That's what she said, that's what she said.
When he proposed he informed her mother
He owned Bladworth's very last ranch.
And though she's an accountant too, 
Though she's an accountant too,
Though she's an accountant too,
She married him.


Life out in Blad wasn't ever a picnic
More like the Davidson bar
At five am you're out birthing and calving
While you're defrosting the car.
She knew these cows were for meat, But it wasn't 
Something you'd want to discuss.
It wasn't warm.
Well, not in Jan.
Well, not in Sask.

But 
Every cow is beautiful when it's Charolais.
Bulky bulls and lowing steers in white.
Yes, 
Every cow is beautiful when it's Charolais.
Hay!
She was happy... with the Charolais.
