I took the tube back out of town back to the rollin' pin.
I felt a little like a dying clown with a streak of Rin Tin Tin.

The dog up and died. He up and died.
After twenty years he still grieves.

You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'til you spend half your life just covering up.

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, ''I will fix your rack if you'll take Jack my dog.''

I met a young child beside a dead pony.
I met a white man who walked a black dog.

Into this house we're born. Into this world we're thrown.
Like a dog without a bone, an actor out alone.

Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway callin'. Geese in flight and dogs that bite.

Chicken in a bread pan, pickin' out dough.
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no.

Sidewalk crouchers at her feet,
like a dog that begs for something sweet.

My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.

Badder than old King Kong,
meaner than a junkyard dog.

You ain't got to be so bad, got to be so cold.
This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old.

And just like a dog I was befriended.
I was befriended.

Yeah, ain't but one thing to do, spend my natural life with you. You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.

Yeah, when you call my name,
I salivate like a Pavlov dog.

Now you know that your cat has nine lives, nine lives to itself, but you only got one, and a dog's life ain't fun.

I'm shouting all about love
when they treated you like a dog.

Every dog must have his every day.
Every drunk must have his drink.

And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
chasin' down a hoodoo there.

The wild dogs cry out in the night
as they grow restless, longing for some solitary company.

Where the dogs of society howl.
You can't plant me in your penthouse.

Bonedigger, bonedigger, dogs in the moonlight,
far away my well-lit door.

In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand
at the mongrel dogs who teach.

I found a fox caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

You're a bad dog, baby,
but I still want you around.

A doggie is nothing if he don't have a bone.
Oh, doggie, hold your bone. Oh, doggie, hold it.

The dog days are done.
The horses are comin' so you better run.

When you were a young boy, did you have a puppy
that always followed you around?

And there's no such thing as make-believe,
puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns.

Yeah, you got your dead cat, and you got your dead dog.
On a moonlight night you got your dead toad frog.
