DOG BONE SONG EGAC

the back door is open and shod
with the shoe of my old trusty horse,
hung above it, that he has outworn
i’m hoping it brings luck i guess

and i’m riding this horse back to you girl
and i’m tired of roaming this road
through the dusts of this southern bowl

and i’m wondering about you girl, where are you tonight girl, i need you by my side girl
yeah i’m wondering where you are girl, where are you right now girl, i’m wondering where you are

the cans you kept on the cold cellar shelf
are spoils for somebody else
and this food i find on the floor
is a dog’s that i keep for myself

the day grows darker at dawn
fall’s come the summer has gone
you rake up the weeds and the thorns

i’m wondering where you are right now girl, i need you here by my side girl, i’m wondering where you are girl
yeah i’m wondering, i’m wondering where you are now girl, i need you here and how girl, i’m wondering where you are girl

the street dogs have followed me home
by my back door they beg for the bone
and they’ve been lately coming so close
they’re scaring the corn stripping crows

the blood on the moon leaves a sign
that somewhere you’ve left us behind
with the vows to me that are owed
that are owed

i’m wondering where you are now girl, could we meet some how in the bar now , i’m already half gone to the stars girl
yeah i’m wondering where you are girl, how can i get there, how far girl, i’m wondering where you are girl

at the back door (the) dogs are starting to howl
your memory still up at this hour
with (the) dogs on their hunt for that bone
getting hungry and scratching the ground

i’m roaming like a dog with a bone, back to you girl
after roaming alone, for too long girl
i need to come home
