Discover the story of the song > Milk Cow Blues – Aerosmith

The lyrics are about a person who has tried everything to get along with their partner, but they are fed up with their partner's crying and want them to leave them alone. The protagonist tells their partner that if they don't believe them, they will pack their bags and leave. The chorus repeats the phrase "don't that sun look good going down," implying that things will be better when the partner's old man (possibly an ex or someone causing problems) is not around. The protagonist also says that they love their partner when their old man isn't around. The outro repeats the phrase "around and around" several times.
