Lyrics
Pack Of Dogs
Piled in my Honda, four wide in back,
megaphone out the window pullin' over cars.
I know it can be fun running 'round with the pack
We were a pack of dogs running 'round and wild.
Shakin' like junkies, adrenalin in our hands,
naked down the backstretch at the football game.
I know it can be fun running 'round with the pack
We were a pack of dogs running 'round and wild.
Then we all grew up and went our own ways.
Yes we all grew up together.
I know it can be fun running 'round with the pack
We were a pack of dogs running 'round and wild.
