Lyrics
Hang dog hang dog gallows again
Long ears four paws watching my end
They’re saying I burnt up this town,
while fleeing them badge wearing clowns.
How could I not stand my ground to their sins.
I’m born to sink never swim.
I’ll kick that gate until I get in.
Lost souls in the fibers just swinging my frame
While they’re calling my name.
Hang dog hang dog what did we do?
Where’s all the money and who knew the ruse?
They came down the back country trail.
Steeds heard through the gunfire hail.
Dropping hammers on fools who just had a damn dream.
I’ll dig more graves by the stream.
At least you’ll know where I’d been.
If ever you’re lonely my grave you can lay and I’ll feel you each day.
Hangdog where will you stay.
This goes to the people who’ve lost all their ways. Love like you ain’t loving again and hold dear all your
damaged heart friends. Cause that ticking old clocks a tad slower each rhyme.
Another ghost for the crime.
I did my best with my time.
For that goddamn
For that goddamn
hang dog.
