Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Meet him by the road
There's a dog went runnin'
Pickin' through spit out leaves
A dog won't even touch
[Verse 2]
Meant to shoot that dog long ago
Just can't leave that dog alone
[Verse 3]
Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again
With his see through skin
The kind of skin you can see through
[Verse 4]
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot a, a, a, a, a, a
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a
[Verse 5]
Heal me by a river
Man retires, his wife says
But she was so sad and sick
His heart breaks in the mud
[Verse 6]
Thought I'd leave this world by 21
Couldn't leave that dog alone
[Verse 7]
Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again
With his see through skin
The kind of skin you can see through
[Verse 8]
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot a, a, a, a, a, a
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a
[Verse 9]
Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
Maria carry you on her back
[Verse 10]
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
