Verse 1 You got a beautiful farm Pretty pond that brings calm Big ol’ pasture, room to roam Every fence post feels like home There’s a barn built strong and square You’ve got critters everywhere Pre-Chorus But standin’ there beside you I saw what the place was missin’ Chorus Your farm needs some donkeys A jackass mean and stocky A sweet little jenny by his side Keepin’ all the herd in line One won’t do, maybe two Every farm needs a few Someone stubborn, loud and bray-y Guardin’ things like they’re his baby Verse 2 Your cows are always useful Calves when the season’s fruitful Your goats just make you grin Even that mean buck butting in Your chickens all got names Different breeds but eggs the same Pre-Chorus But lookin’ at the pasture I said somethin’ felt missin’ Chorus Your farm needs some donkeys A jackass mean and stocky A sweet little jenny by his side Keepin’ all the herd in line One won’t do, maybe two Every farm needs a few Someone stubborn, loud and bray-y Guardin’ things like they’re his baby Verse 3 Donkeys guard the pasture Kick coyotes clear to rapture Foxes, bobcats run away When they hear that loud bray Teeth and hooves and attitude Meaner than they look, dude Bridge (Punchline) That day I said “You need yourself a jackass” You smiled and said “I already got one… you.” Now the more I think about it The more I have to confess Stubborn, loud, protective… Yeah I guess you’re kinda blessed. Final Chorus (Payoff Version) Your farm’s got a donkey A jackass mean and stocky Stubborn mule of a man like me Guardin’ everything I see You don’t need two or three You already got one… me.
