"Dog" lyrics

"Dog"

My dog wears a path on the same line
And lately I'm thinkin' I might take his advice, yeah, yeah

'Cause he sees through the fence and he thinks I'm free
But my brain and his chain look the same to me
All alone in a cage with a head rest
There's a thing I could get off of my chest

'Cause I wanna wear the path that's true
And I wanna wear the path with you

Out on the cold of the leash for years or more
Don't even know what it was I was waiting for
Well maybe I barked up the wrong tree
That was then now I'm back won't you see me

'Cause I wanna wear the path that's true
And I wanna wear the path with you
Oh, it's true

I used to be afraid of growing old
And hanging 'round the same old place
But I got older anyway

So won't you
So won't you
So won't you brush my fears away

My dog wears a path and that's a good sign
'Cause my dog wears a path on the same line

Now alone in this cage with a head rest
There's a thing I should get off of my chest
Buy a house, go to work in the same car
Feed the dog, put our teeth in the same jar

Wanna tell you that
I wanna wear the path that's true
And I wanna wear the path with you
And I wanna wear the path that's true
