Bright Eyes - Stray Dog Freedom lyrics
[Bright Eyes - Stray Dog Freedom lyrics]
There's a skinny dog in a dirty parking lot
And he doesn't bite, but he begs
And he knows what's true, so if you are
He'll follow you
If you're headed home, all the way
So we let him finish every dinner plate
And we watched his tail say thanks, thanks
Thanks
And we tried to name him, but he ran away
Once he knew his freedom was at stake
It's the same old shit
So it's how you deal with it
It's the glove that fit's that you wear
So when the wind blows strong
I put a few more layers on
And I tell myself I don't care
I might make a phone call to a better man
To ask the questions that I have, have, have
Like how do I get started and
Where's it going to end?
Why should I treat a traitor like a friend?
And he doesn't bite, but he begs
And he knows what's true, so if you are
He'll follow you
If you're headed home, all the way
So we let him finish every dinner plate
And we watched his tail say thanks, thanks
Thanks
And we tried to name him, but he ran away
Once he knew his freedom was at stake
It's the same old shit
So it's how you deal with it
It's the glove that fit's that you wear
So when the wind blows strong
I put a few more layers on
And I tell myself I don't care
I might make a phone call to a better man
To ask the questions that I have, have, have
Like how do I get started and
Where's it going to end?
Why should I treat a traitor like a friend?
