THE DISH RAN AWAY WITH THE SPOON
THE DISH RAN AWAY WITH THE SPOON
You’re just a little bitty dog
with a great big old bone.
Can’t take it with you
...can’t leave it alone.
The moon is ticking backwards
the clock don’t know why
stars are just tears
that the night has to cry.
The neon dances in the puddles in the streets...
...heartbreak echoes in the empty passing feet.
You think your life’s a musical
but it’s more Film Noir.
You look at a map that says
YOU ARE HERE
but you don’t know where you are.
The sun came in the window -
- your love walked out the door.
I always adored Country & Western
but had never lived it before.
You’re just a little bitty dog
with a great big old bone.
Can’t take it with you...
...leave it alone!
