Hound Dog Blues

(album: There And Back - 2013)

Sometimes I'm hungry
Like a dog out on the street
I am sniffing, I am begging
I could die for something sweet
You can see me in the moonshine
Chasing cats all down the la ne
While sneaking out your backdoor
But your woman calls your name
I'm howling for a piece that helps me
Make it through the night
Yes I feel how I feel and that's alright
Sometimes I'm lazy
And I sleep my days away
And I don't see any reason
To get up that's why I stay
Just exactly where I am oh that's the
Place where I belong
My intentions getting weaker but my
Head's still going strong
I don't care because I know I'll feel
Much better by tonight
Yes I feel how I feel and that's alright

Yes I feel alright, got my rock & roll
Like the speed of light
I'm stuck in cruise control
Yeah right, it's alright
Yeah I feel alright

You've got a suit
A tie and shoes on your feet
I've got a big bone and a license
And I'm coming down your street
Well I look like I sound
And I sound just like I feel
And if you'd just leave me alone folks
We could have a perfect deal
So I is what I is, and you am just what you am
And we do as we please, as long as we can

Your fine old world
Is going straight down the drain
Tons of useless information
Filling both sides of your brain
There are wars on your TV
There are gods and sacred cows
While I'm digging
Up the roses from the bed behind your house
Now would you please get off of my tail
With your shoes made of steel
And let me feel how I feel
I gotta feel how I feel, I gotta feel... feel...

Yes I feel alright, got my rock & roll
Like the speed of light
I'm stuck in cruise control
Yeah right, it's alright
Yeah I feel alright
A yeah, yeah
Yeah right, it's alright, yeah I feel alright...
