Block Dog — текст песни (David Wilcox)

from Big Horizon
..............................................

I had a long talk with the block dog
All summer he runs with the kids
He`s happy as a block dog
Every day the choice is his

`Cause they all feed him when he`s hungry
They all keep him from the cold
But he don`t wear their collar
He makes the neighborhood his home

There`ll be a fireplace in the winter
There`s lots of houses down this street
Summertime he`ll catch your frisbee
Beg the best of your dinner meat

I had a long talk with the block dog
All summer he runs with the kids
He`s happy as a block dog
Every day the choice is his.

I said Rusty, I`m gettin` married
I used to like your kind of life
But life`s different now, it`s like a garden
I`d like to tend it with my wife

Dig in one spot make a straight row
You`re only diggin` to hide the bone
But when I lived so free alone
I had an empty harvest

I had a long talk with the block dog
All summer he runs with the kids
He`s happy as a block dog
Every day the choice is his

Rusty looked up, sad at me and said
Dave, I understand
`Cause we`re different now, I`m still a dog
And you`re acting like a man."

I had a long talk with the block dog
All summer he runs with the kids
He`s happy as a block dog
Every day the choice is his

I ain`t nothin` but a hound dog
I ain`t nothin` but a hound dog
But I`m tryin` all the time.
