My Dog Lyrics

Do I look familiar

In your beholding eye?

Do you see the beauty

That you had known as just a child?

And I don’t wanna die in my home town

So I hope you find a way out

‘Cause I’ll go where you go.

And I turn my back and we’re in California

And I’m taking your word

For the good or bad.

You don’t know it all,

But I see the world

As if you said that you did.

And I often feel like

A ghost story waiting to happen.

Sometimes when the lights go out

I stare at myself ‘til my face starts morphing.

And I close my eyes and I am following you

Through a stranger’s house

Because I still go where you go.

And I turn the corner and don’t recognize

This place -

Ain’t nothing like my childhood home.

You don’t know it all

But I see the world

As if you said that you did.

And there’s a guard dog outback salivating

On something I hope was never alive

If I throw a bone I doubt he’d take it

But he ain’t raised by you nor I

And if I stand down and let him charge

I hope he’d wait before the bite

And you’d learn to whistle just to save me

But he ain’t raised by you nor I

And I hope you take it fine

And I’ll see you on the day my dog dies

I hope you take it fine

And I’ll see you on the day my dog dies

I hope you take it fine

And I’ll see you on the day my dog dies

I hope you take it fine

And I’ll see you on the day my dog dies.
