Dog's Life

Eels

What would you say if i left this town tomorrow

I guess i would

But know i'd miss the train

I know i would

I'll take a dog's life

Just layin' in the sun

I'll take a dog's life

'cause i don't care for this one

Chasing trains and planes and rain

Where is my rain

Falling down upon a thirsty world

I never want to be the same

Another time i might have fit in alright

But not this time

I guess i'm just too soon

To change my tune

I'll take a dog's life

Just layin' in the sun

I'll take a dog's life

'cause i don't care for this one

Chasing trains and planes and rain

Where is my rain

Falling down upon a thirsty world

I never want to be the same
