Lately, things have been hard

Lately, things have been tough


Lately, we haven't talked

Lately, you've had enough


Lately, I stand alone


Lately, I do not care


Lately, you've been away


But baby,

Once you were there


We met in July

You were gone by October


Haven't seen you in as many

months it's been since I was sober



So I'll take another ****


Get lost

in the smoke


I'll take another sip


Till I don't
walk

I
just
t  r  i p


Cause
Lately, things don't seem right

Lately, it's so hard to sleep at night

I don't want to be a bother,

but will you tell me when I get old?

You never let me down softly


You never disappoint

When it comes to that

Which you cannot

begin to understand

leaves me in a state

so very far from grand


And all I wanted was to take your hand

And all you wanted was some a guy in a rock and roll band


And all I got is the blues


A harp and a

bottle of *****

You were a mess

He was too

Two kids in lust
with nothing better to do

Kissing and touching
on the cold tile floor

You say your not drunk

Yeh, you say you need more


All of the stress
It's drivin' you mad

Thinkin' of good times that you had


But memories fade with friendships
Now the good times are gone

So we can just black out

Drink on
Drink on

******* Dog,

You do not

think about the future


Only what's directly in your view


******* Dog,

I really envy your free spirit


And I wish I could

think that way too


Cause lately I've had so much ****

holdin' me down


And though I sometimes hear you whine

You never frown


I've got so many worries now

they're all around


Livin' in this wicked devil town


But

******* dog,

you don't worry at all


******* dog,

you'd rather chase a ball


******* dog,

you make me smile


Big friendly dog,

you aren't hostile


******* dog,

You don't condescend


******* dog,

You're my best friend


******* dog,

You run so fast


******* dog,

You never feel harassed


******* dog,

You never fail


******* dog,

You always wag your tail


******* dog,

So happy and free


******* dog,

******' on a tree


******* dog,

Don't run away


******* dog,

let's have a field day


******* dog,

I'll throw a stick


You can bring it back

It's how you get your kicks



The ******* dog



My ******* dog
