lyrics

You would not believe me
if I could just tell you the truth
but all of this stuff just keeps lying
like the rock stuck at the bottom of my boot

My heart is a black dog sleepin' under your truck
she's helpless
defenseless
knows that true love is luck
my heart is a black dog sleepin' under your truck
she's tied to the bumper
tangled up in everything that I love

All of this change just keeps piling up
wish that I could walk in sunshine
But now I can't hit all of them HIGH notes
I can't breathe for swallowing time

My heart is a black dog
just call out her name
she'll come when you call her
standing out n the rain
My heart is a black dog sleepin' under your truck
she's tied to the bumper
tangled up in everything that I love

Dreamin' dog dreams of little bunny
catching up with the morning dove
her leash is tied to the hitch of your bumper
tangled up in everything that I love

You would not believe me
If I could just tell you the truth
But all of this stuff just keeps LYING
like the rock stuck at the bottom of my boot...
