Your Mother's Dog  

It was a year ago today 
You ran out of my life 
You did not even stop 
To say goodbye 
As bitter as a biscuit 
Soaking up the yellow snow 
Folks thought it was funny 
That I was the last to know 

You won't hear no barking 
No howling no screeching tonight 
Up at the late night moon 
And for all those nasty things you said 
And for kicking me out of bed 
You've been forgiven 
Though your mother's dog is dead 

Well I will not say that I was not hurt 
And you know I was there right till the end. 
With a lot of long letters letters signed 
Yyour best friend 
Days got dark and then got darker 
I drank myself a pack of lies 
One of those being that some but 
Not all dogs can fly 

You won't hear no barking 
No howling no screeching tonight 
Up at the late night moon 
And for all those nasty things you said 
And for kicking me out of bed 
You've been forgiven 
Though your mother's dog is dead 

Some people think I did it for fun 
Some people think and your mom is one 
Who think I could've dialed back 
On what I'd done  
But me and her we're OK now 
I see her bout three or four times a year 
I even trained her monkey 
To fetch us beer

You won't hear no barking 
No howling no screeching tonight 
Up at the late night moon 
And for all those nasty things you said 
And for kicking me out of bed 
You've been forgiven 
Though your mother's dog is dead
