lyrics

She drops her hair, her temper flares
I walk the avenue for some ocean air
Where I spend the night
In sheets of sand
Hear big blue whales swim through my head

Wake at dawn
Move my feet down Magazine street
Spot her Cheverolet, windows down
Arms stretched out, sunglasses on

I take her hand, she twists my wrist
She says “You know I don’t love you,
But I know, how lonely you are"
Yeah I know how lonely you are

Got the long dog sorrow
From California to Colorado
I guess I’m going home
Although I like to roam
I got stretched out hopes
That the long dog will take me there

Board the bus in the back
Watch a moving frame of a southern land
I can't look back when I move this fast
See a young girl walking like a tramp

She sits beside me
We gaze but we don't speak
From Phoenix to Santa Fe

I hold her hand, we wrap our legs
Until she gets off in Colorado Springs
Don't want to say goodbye, I find her eyes
Say, “I don’t know what love means
But I know how lonely you are”
Yeah I know how lonely you are

Got the long dog sorrow
From Colorado to North Dakota
I guess I’m going home
Although I like to roam
I got stretched out hopes
That the long dog will take me there

Haven't slept in days
I sit up straight at the stations
The holes in my boots
Start the same conversations

Yeah it's stop and go, ain't no race
Long dog takes a slow pace
Off an on again, through twilight wheels
Northern Michigan

Lonely mutt, across the road
Sometimes I think I’m the only lonely one
But I know how lonely you are
Yeah I know how lonely you are

I got the long dog sorrow
From the badlands to the great fresh water
I'll know I’m going home
Although I like to roam
I got stretched out hopes
That the long dog will take me there

On a long dog, etc.
