Dogman

Give me a dollar or give me 50 cents
Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant
Give me a coat or give me a bite
Give me the a light bulb and make sure it's bright
Give me the moon or give me everywhere
Give me some powder to spray up in the air

Chorus:
Let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
Remembering the times I pray
To help me deal with me
To be the dogman

Give me some attention lend me your ear
Give me what to do and get me out of here
Give me a book, give me something to read
Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead

Chorus:
Let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
Remembering the times I pray
To help me deal with me
To be the dogman

All the sleeping never waking
All the leaves in need of raking
All the business undertaking
All my bones and muscles aching
Thoughts are mind are surely flaking
Over luncheons hands are shaking
Surety of no mistaking
Cars and horns and glass is breaking

Give me a color make it black or white
Give me a newspaper tell me if it's right
Give me a nail or give me a bat
Give me a skinny or give me a fat

Chorus:
Remembering the times I pray
To let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
To help me deal with me.....
To help me deal with me.....
To be the dogman

As I wondered,
Walking along on a lazy path
I shook a hand,
He seemed to know so much more
So I listened,
Tried my best just to understand
Then I followed
To where I knew nothing of.

Over the hill, come see the thrill awaiting you
There's so much more, go thru the door

Chorus:
Walk in the big parade
Learn just what to say
They will all try to fool you
Don't believe anything,
I'm your everything
They will all try to fool you
And don't ever think you'll see another friend
(See another friend)

Time went on,
We were freinds of different kind
But something there
Always tearing apart
Standing tall
On a surface of glass and rain
We travelled on
With a hope and a prayer

Over the hill, come see the thrill awaiting you
There's so much more, go thru the door

Chorus:
Walk in the big parade
Learn just what to say
They will all try to fool you
Don't believe anything
I'm your everything
They will all try to fool you
And don't ever think you'll find a better friend

(break)

Chorus:
Walk in the big parade
Learn just what to say
They will all try to fool you
Don't believe anything
I'm your everything
They will all try to fool you
(repeat chorus)

And don't ever think that I could do you wrong

There can be but better ways
From yesterdays to me
Somewhere there are better days
For better ways to be
Sunny days have funny ways
Of quieting the roar
Is it still a blessed thing
To live and live some more

Chorus:
And I'm left with the truth
And I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time
Maybe never!!!
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I woke up early one morning
Like I'd been under a spell
Gazed into the mirrored reflection
Said I had to do it or else

Chorus:
And I'm left with the truth
And I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time
Maybe never!!!
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

<break>
ooooooohhh!!
Things are true

There can be but better ways
From yesterdays to me
Somewhere there are better days
For better ways to be
Sunny days have funny ways
Of quieting the roar
Is it still a blessed thing
To live and live some more

Chorus:
And I'm left with the truth
And I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time
Maybe never!!!
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I don't wanna go to hell
Nobody in their right mind wants to
But very few have done the things they have to do
To get to the promised land.

Lies, games, webs of pain
Giving, taking, oh abuse
Contention, extension, I will not be shamed
Crossing bridges I'm on the way

Chorus:
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I don't care about you
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I just care about....

Blind, find, piece of mind
I've never what it really is
Intention, rejection, little left away
Crossing the bridge I'm on my way

Chorus:
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I don't care about you
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I just care about you.

Such a tossing to and fro
It's become clear to me
I just want to see the real........
From the fantasy

Chorus:
I just don't care like I used to
I don't care about you
I just don't care like I used to
I just care about you.

Ohhhhh!! Yeahhh!!
I don't care about you
(repeat)

There's a thought in my mind
And there's nothing not far behind
There's a road, there's a path
There's a freeway and there's a map

Chorus:
There are flies and blue skies
And the just and the unjust all walk
Side by side
Side by side

There's a fog in my mind
And there's nothing too far behind
There is wrong there is right
There is peace and there's a fight

Chorus:
There is life, there is death
And the difference between either one
Is one single breath
There are flies and blue skies
And the just and the unjust all walk
Side by side
Side by side

Solo

Chorus:
There are flies and blues skies
And the just and the unjust all walk
Side by side
Side by side

There's a thorn in my side
And I feel like I'm standing
In the middle of a battlefield
Oh Lord I try

Chorus:
I walk thru sunshine rain
I-I-I, In every forest there's a snake
And the apple of my eye

The pain it comes and goes
I always let myself down
How does the letting go
It's just that way

Chorus:
I walk thru sunshine rain
I-I-I, In every forest there's a snake
And the apple of my eye

It takes time a friend of mine
Who's fallen down a million times told me
Told me!!!!
Feelings never go away
You have to learn to live this way
And keep yourself alive
(That's what he said)

Solo

Chorus:
I walk thru sunshine rain
I-I-I, In every forest there's a snake
And the apple of my eye
(repeat chorus 2x)
