Dog Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He got mud on his jeans Chewed-up laces Ripped-up sleeves Sleeps on couches Runs on dreams Answers every bark he sees Won't stay still when the gate swings wide Heart keeps pulling to the other side Got a pocket full of treats and time Says "Every stray's a friend of mine" [Chorus] He's a dog man Wild heart Open hand Knows every tail in this old town Calling each name like a marching band Every lost soul gathers round He's a dog man Laughs when the rain pours down Says "Come on Kid You can ride along" Where the fur flies That's where he belongs [Verse 2] Coffee cold on the front porch rail Leash lines tangled like a piece of braille He reads stories in the snapped-off twigs In the holes they dig In the fences they rig Talks in whistles Clicks And grins Lets them jump up Lets them win Says "You don't need to sit for me You just need a place to be" [Chorus] He's a dog man Wild heart Open hand Knows every tail in this old town Calling each name like a marching band Every lost soul gathers round He's a dog man Laughs when the rain pours down Says "Come on Kid You can ride along" Where the fur flies That's where he belongs [Bridge] Some folks say he's always late He says "I'm busy fixing fate" Stops the car on every turn For a pair of eyes that burn [Chorus] He's a dog man Wild heart Open hand Knows every tail in this old town Calling each name like a marching band Every lost soul gathers round He's a dog man Laughs when the rain pours down Says "Come on Kid You can ride along" Where the fur flies That's where he belongs
