She’s nothing more than a dog
The female
Love life with her is almost uncertain
Even though I still hold out hope
My mother thinks I need a surgeon
Sorry, mom, this life is the only way I can cope
From a little kid singing in front of the curtain
We’re aiming to make a few charts
Then maybe I’ll be just fine
We’re aiming to break a few hearts
Like she’s broken mine
She’s been causing me to empty these bottles of cheap wine
Some nights that’s the only way I can carry her burden
and keep my spine somewhat in line
My lady friend with four legs
wagged her tail at my mistakes
She’s been mocking me
ever since my two summers at the Great Lakes
With her by my side I’ve met the devil’s daughters
Who love and hate you for what you currently do
Not how you’re going to change the world
They come running back thinking they had a clue when they laughed at what you went through
I only have one love, but I trust her about as much as I trust any other girl
Which is not at all
They take advantage of you when you’re rising up
Then abandon you when you fall
Kick you while you are down
Cater to the safe low-lifes in town
She wants that 9 to 5 stability
What stability?
Any day you can get canned, regardless of your ability
My lady friend with four legs instilled a will in me
To keep dreaming, keep working, through every blunder, keep fighting
Even though she’s scheming, she’s smirking at me through the thunder and lightning
When it rains it pours
Acting gracious as we’re playing for the staff at the bars during the tours
Private shows
With holes in my clothes
Checked in to my car for the night and froze
That’s how the struggle goes
My lady friend with four legs still has my heart for the long run
Sometimes I just hate life, but in a sickening way it’s too much fun
I hate you too, but you’re still my number one!
