David Wilcox - Block Dog Lyrics
I had a long talk with the block dogAll summer he runs with the kidsHe's happy as a block dogEvery day the choice is his'Cause they all feed him when he's hungryThey all keep him from the coldBut he don't wear their collarHe makes the neighborhood his homeThere'll be a fireplace in the winterThere's lots of houses down this streetSummertime he'll catch your frisbeeBeg the best of your dinner meatI had a long talk with the block dogAll summer he runs with the kidsHe's happy as a block dogEvery day the choice is his.I said Rusty, I'm gettin' marriedI used to like your kind of lifeBut life's different now, it's like a gardenI'd like to tend it with my wifeDig in one spot make a straight rowYou're only diggin' to hide the boneBut when I lived so free aloneI had an empty harvestI had a long talk with the block dogAll summer he runs with the kidsHe's happy as a block dogEvery day the choice is hisRusty looked up, sad at me and saidDave, I understand'Cause we're different now, I'm still a dogAnd you're acting like a man."I had a long talk with the block dogAll summer he runs with the kidsHe's happy as a block dogEvery day the choice is hisI ain't nothin' but a hound dogI ain't nothin' but a hound dogBut I'm tryin' all the time
