Junkyard Dog

​just a junkyard dog trying to stake my claim
confined canine, collar and chain
i can smell for miles, but no one would know
got no tail to wag, got no room to grow
 
just a junkyard dog, and it just ain't right
practice my bark, just never my bite
and if you were to tell me, i just wouldn't believe
that the sharpest teeth were named after me
 
just a junkyard dog, they got me on a leash
they keep my alive, give me just enough to eat
when i'm just about to starve, and die all alone
they throw me some fat and watch me gnaw on the bone
 
just a junkyard dog, i'm starting to use my wits
cause there's gotta be more to life than sleeping where you shit
got a bright idea, yeah it's common sense
gonna dig a big hole right under the fence
 
just a junkyard dog, and i got no excuse
cause i'm skinny enough to ditch this noose
i'm ready to go, but still I wait
cause there's no way to know what's beyond that gate
 
just a junkyard dog, the wolves would be ashamed
i stopped howling at the moon cause it ain't the one to blame
i sit here with the chickens cause i'm scared to be free
just a junkyard, and that's what i'll always be
