Lyrics

Just Like A Dog

Na na na na na

I’m gonna sleep the hours away
Bury a treasure to love another day
Go in your lap and try to get you to play
Go crazy when I hear somebody knockin

I don’t bite I just tease and I’m the one beggin at your knees
I follow your feet, throw me treat, but forget to pet me

Just like a dog, I found my sunny spot
Laid in it until I got hot
The shade keeps moving and so do I
Dust in the air sparkles like fire flies
Anything you put in the bright light
Shows the wear and tear of a good life
Any dog put in the dark
Will eventually go to sleep and then they stop their bark
I said, you can see me dreamin, but you don’t know what I’m seeing, and I’m twitching as I lay in my bed
I’m running through fields, and jumping over hills, so free from the walls of your cage
Just like a dog I always show you love but you always just ignore my face
Just like a dog I might run away when I can get over your fence
And I should keep running, running, running
I should keep running, running, running away
Should keep running, running, running
Should keep running but I always come back

Na na na na na

I’m gonna sit and shake when you say
I’m the loyalist friend you’ll ever have
Never get mad even when you yell
Lay down with my tail between my legs

I don’t bite I just tease and I’m the one beggin at your knees
I follow your feet, throw me treat, but don’t forget to pet me

Just like a dog, I found my sunny spot
Laid in it until I got hot
The shade keeps moving and so do I
Dust in the air sparkles like fire flies
Anything you put in the bright light
Shows the wear and tear of a good life
Any dog put in the dark
Will eventually go to sleep with a broken heart
I said, you can hear me barking, but it’s territory marking
Throw a bone and I’ll be your friend
I don’t like a leash but I’ll wear in the streets
Cause I’m looking for a new kind of scent
Just like a dog I’m scratching up the walls to let em know where I’ve been
Just like a dog I might run away when I can get out of your pen
And I should keep running, running, running
I should keep running, running, running away
Should keep running, running, running
Should keep running but I always come back

Just like a dog I want you home
I have a short time here, I don’t want to be alone
Just like a dog I’ll wait all day
To hear that car door and your voice say

You’re just like a dog
You’re just like a dog
You’re just like a dog
You’re just like a dog

And I’ll keep running, running, running
I’ll keep running, running, running away
Yeah I’m running, running, running
Imma keep running and I’ll never come back
