Well I tried everything
Just to get along with you
And I’m gonna tell you just
What I’m gonna do
Well I’m sick of all your crying
When you should be leaving me alone
If you don’t believe me
You pack my bag, I’m gone
Won’t you please
A don’t that sun look good goin’ down
You almost lost your love girl
When your old man ain’t around
Won’t you please
Don’t that sun look good goin’ down
Won’t you please
Don’t that sun look good goin’ down
Well you best believe that I love you, baby
When your old man ain’t around
New dance!
Go!
Won’t you you please
Don’t that sun (sun) look (look) good (good) goin’ down
Won’t you please….woo
Don’t that sun look good goin’ down
Well you best believe that I love you, baby
When your old man ain’t around
And around and around and
around and around and
around and round and
round and round and
round and round…yak yak yak yak ya…
Exploring the Heartache in “Milk Cow Blues”
“Milk Cow Blues” by Aerosmith dives deep into the emotional turbulence of a relationship on the rocks. The lyrics paint a picture of frustration and longing, as the narrator reaches his breaking point, no longer willing to tolerate the constant tension. The recurring line “Don’t that sun look good goin’ down” serves as a poignant metaphor, suggesting the end of a chapter and the bittersweet beauty found in letting go. The song’s bluesy roots shine through, channeling classic heartbreak themes but with Aerosmith’s signature rock energy, making the pain and resignation feel raw and relatable. The repeated phrases and calls for the partner to realize what they’re about to lose add an urgent, almost pleading tone to the track.
