A shadow can smell like a wet dog...

lyrics

“Wet Dog”
BMI c 11/08/2000
By Jackson Slade

I put a fire on this morning, got myself out on the road
I was miles out and wondering, am I doing this alone
You see this life will sometimes reach you
It could take a day to pass you by
I remember when it started, but I can’t remember why

(1st Chorus)
Cause it’s like falling off some mountain
Into places you won’t know
You can tell ‘em how you’re feeling
But don’t you tell ‘em where to go
You’re like some old wet dog

Well I was somewhere in the sunset
In the corner of my eye
I saw the peace sign for religion go rolling by
How it took me in the distance
I could hear my grandma say
Don’t go dealing in the dark side
The devil gets his way

(2nd Chorus)
Cause it’s like falling off some mountain
Into places you won’t know
You can tell ‘em how you’re feeling
But don’t you tell ‘em where to go
It’s like a shadow on the highway
While you’re drifting through a fog
Like an old wet dog

(Bridge)
Then I started looking back,
All I saw were miles and miles of black…
Am I out here trying to lose my way again
Thought I heard my dear old grandma say
Are you ever gonna find your way - well I sure hope so!

(3rd Chorus)
Cause it’s like falling off some mountain
When you’re searching for your soul
Don’t go dealing with the devil,
You could land in the darkest hole,
With some old wet dog

Jackson Slade Lewisburg, Tennessee

"Style of music is hard to give a
specific Genre to.. My Spanish roots
come to the surface in my rhythms, and
melodies to some extent. I've always
loved all styles of music, and I guess
my motivation comes from loving how,
through music, we make the world
warmer and smaller, not so vast.
I guess you could say I'm
Rock/Country/Jazz/Pop/Blues/Latin Blues and a few more things too ugly to mention" ... more
