LIVE AT EDDIES ATTIC WITH WALT DEAN ON DOBRO

DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A DOG

I REMEMBER WAITING DAY AFTER DAY ON JESUS TO HEAR ME
I'D CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP WONDERING WHAT I'D DONE WRONG
I CAN RECALL ASKING MAMA BUT SHE COULDN'T TELL ME
IF OR WHEN POOCHIE WAS COMING HOME

I'D HIT THE DOOR AT DAYLIGHT NO TIME FOR STALLING
TO LOOK FOR HIM UNTIL I COULD HEAR MY DADDY CALLING
HE NEVER DID TOP THAT HILL,IT'S STRANGE HOW I'M WAITING STILL
DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A DOG

SOME MIGHT CALL THEM MANS BEST FRIEND
BUT TO A BOY IT'S MORE THAN THAT IN THE END
BITTER SWEET MEMORIES LINGER ON AND ON
SOMETIMES AT NIGHT I STILL DREAM OF HIM
JUST TO WAKE AND FIND HIM GONE AGAIN
DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A DOG

IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE HEARTACHE,IT'S NOT KNOWING
IF HE FOUND HIMSELF A FRIEND OR DIED COLD AND LONELY
SOMEHOW I KNOW HE'S PATIENTLY WAITING IN HEAVEN ON ME
DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A DOG

SOME MIGHT CALL THEM MANS BEST FRIEND
BUT TO A BOY IT'S MORE THAN THAT IN THE END
BITTER SWEET MEMORIES LINGER ON AND ON
SOMETIMES AT NIGHT I STILL DREAM OF HIM
JUST TO WAKE AND FIND HIM GONE AGAIN
DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A DOG
