I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn’t Run

Patty Larkin

[Verse 1]
I told him my dog wouldn't run
Told him I loved someone
Yeah, that's my old car out in the parking lot
I saw him when he first walked in
I thought it was a vision of him
He was looking like, like where he had been
He was looking kind of fragile

[Chorus]
He said
I read the Bible every day
To try to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away

[Verse 2]
My friend said, "Was he always like that?"
Well I said, "Yeah, but he was never this bad"
Well, I remember us playing for nickels and dimes
Out on the corner
Yeah, I asked him to marry me once
Well, he told me he couldn't because
He said this would be all that there was

[Chorus]
He said
I read the Bible every day
To try to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away

[Verse 3]
I was laughing but I didn't get the joke
He was dying to light up a smoke
And I wanted to cry
In the fluorescent light of the restaurant
So I smiled as I got up to go
I was hoping for a goodbye to hold
Well it was kind of like, kind of like touching a ghost
So I ran when I walked out

[Chorus]
Well he said
I read the Bible every day
Just to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away
He said
I read the Bible every day
Just to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away
He said
I read the Bible every day
Just to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away
