"Junkyard Dog" lyrics

Stayed by your side, so faithfully
Could've worn a sign, said beware of me
I never wandered, no I never strayed
Nobody got by, when I was at the gate

But you could mesmerize, with a barrel of fire
Go sneak another man, through a tear in the wire
Maybe what we had, was just a pile of old tires
And I'm a junkyard dog

Junkyard dog, at the end of your chain
Junkyard dog, howlin' out in vain
Fighting for a love you didn't care about
Protecting something, you could live without
Thought I was the king of your castle, turns out
I'm just a junkyard dog

You left me alone, for hours on end
And I was true to you, again and again
You had me wagging and willing, for whatever you could spare
I took what you were giving, and I followed you anywhere

Like a junkyard dog, at the end of your chain
Junkyard dog, howlin' out in vain
Fighting for a love you didn't care about
Protecting something, you could live without
Thought I was the king of your castle, turns out
I'm just a junkyard dog
A junkyard dog

Don't' be surprised to come home and see
A collar and a chain where I used to be
You got to find another fool to take the place of me

And be a junkyard dog, at the end of your chain
Junkyard dog, howlin' out in vain
Fighting for a love you didn't care about
Protecting something, you could live without
Thought I was the king of your castle, turns out
I'm just a junkyard dog
A junkyard dog
