Lyrics
Suicide Dawg
(lyrics by Jimmy Nace)

Shut down in the bottoms with a heavy load.
Suicide dawg in the middle of the road.
Confused misdirection of some wild stray sometimes I feel the same way.
Lock’em up before you stall, thanks but no thanks for the courtesy call.
Suicide dawg
Don’t mess with his mind he just might do it.
Can’t jump the fence he’ll run right through it.
The last Sam we miss him a bunch.
He swiped a four wheel drive for one last crunch.
Down in the swamp on a log
Lookin’ for clues in the haze and fog.
Suicide dawg.

Bridge:
   He lost a front fang to mama’s red slippers
   Kids took his tail with electric hedge clippers
   His whole life is one big mistake
   he ain’t gonna get out of the way

He ain’t ever gonna stop that runnin’ around
Try to stay cool, keep an eye on the ground.
That last dump truck missed him by an inch
He’s got more courage than he’s got good sense.
Just don’t know where we went wrong
~he ain’t had no love since the neighbor’s been gone.
Sucide Dawg
