Pete Droge › Lyrics › Dog on a Chain

Davy's got a lesson, learned it the hard way
He's now a broken hearted man and he hasn't got a word to say
He roll like a fence post, he stand like a tire
He's been thrown to the lions, says, he wanna join the rodeo

And it's a doggone shame
That he's a dog on a chain

He says, he'll find a way back, maybe buy a Cadillac
He wants a place to call his own and his finger nails are turning black
He fly like a night stand, run like an old clock
He bought himself a six string, if you listen you can hear him rock

And it's a doggone shame
That he's a dog on a chain

Some say, he'll make it through
While others claim, he's just a fool

And it's a doggone shame
That he's a dog on a chain
