Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you've heard it all before

I'm sorry for this three-year war

For the setting up of camps and wire and trenches

I'm sorry for the other night

I know sorry it don't make it right

I'm sorry for things I can't even mention

[Chorus]

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Yeah, I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

[Verse 2]

You keep nailing me back into my box

I'm sorry that I keep popping up

With my crazy mouth and jangling jester's cap

I'm sorry I ever wrote that book

I'm sorry for the way I look

But there ain't a lot that I can do about that

[Chorus]

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

[Verse 3]

I'm sorry about the hospital

Some things are unforgivable

That things simply cannot be forgiven

I was not equipped to know how to care

And on the occasions I came up for air

I saw my life and wondered, what the hell have I been living?

[Chorus]

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Feeling very, very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

[Verse 4]

I'm sorry about all your friends

I hope they'll speak to me again

I said before I'd pay for all the damages

I'm sorry it's just rotten luck

I'm sorry I've forgotten how to fuck

It's just that I think my heart and soul are kinda famished

[Chorus]

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Sorry, sorry, sorry

I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

[Verse 5]

Forgive me, babe, but don't worry

Love is always having to say you're sorry

And I am, from my head, down to my shoes

I'm sorry that I'm always pissed

I'm sorry that I exist

And when I look into your eyes, I can see you're sorry too

[Outro]

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Hey! Hey! Hey! Woo!

I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Hey! Hey! Hey! Woo!

I'm feeling very thirsty in the Sorry Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Hey! Hey! Hey! Woo!

I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog
