Hound Dog

HOUND DOG

Shuffling around with my nose to the ground and my eyes all covered in scrim

I'm feeling sorry for myself and I don't know why because in truth I have everything

What am I to choose as I fluff along this mortal coil?

What am I to lose if the road I choose is a lighter toil?

It's a good life if you want it if you let it into you

It's a great life if you call it if you call it into you

But it's a Hound Dog if you let it eat away at you

So come on call it in the good life

Let it in to you

Days and days and hours and hours working for the man

The rents catching up and you're going nowhere but you're doing the best you can

What am I to choose as I fluff along this mortal coil?

What am I to lose if the road I choose is a lighter toil?

It's a good life if you want it if you let it into you

It's a great life if you call it if you call it into you

But it's a Hound Dog if you let it eat away at you

So go on call it in the good life

Let it in to you

Days and days and hours and hours

You watch your folks become tethered and soured

In and out around the round

There's no respite from the daily grind

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

It's a good life if you want it if you let it into you

It's a great life if you call it if you call it into you

But it's a Hound Dog if you let it eat away at you

So go on call it in the good life

Let it in to you
