Stray Dog Freedom lyrics

Song information

Artist: Bright Eyes
Album: Four Winds

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 saying "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 fits 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
Like how did I get started? and where's it gonna end?
Why should I treat a traitor like a friend?
