Black Dog on the Beach

A black dog followed me

We chased the seagulls in the sky

And the shadows on the sand

Well, if Dad was in the Navy

I’ll be a riverboat gambling man

Not counting the buffet

I’d walk with a thousand dollars a day

Oh, Dad always said if he could've

He would've loved to live this way

Sick and lonesome

And in need of discipline and company

The discipline of company

Well, I guess I can describe it best

As the year the lion left the family crest

And we made a crown out of the space that was left
