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 want to 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
