I left the evergreen combat zone For a taste of a better life for me The star dog left the mother bone For a j**el he'd never find or see You may have hated me, I don't know But I loved the way you played your role You couldn't stop to kick the jive It left your kin with salty eyes Hey Mr. Lovedog You will always be The one back home that could of had it all Hey Mr. Lovedog You never really knew me God bless your velvet gifted soul Makes no sense at all Now you're the holy roller With the hub cap diamond star halo This is goodbye to captain Hi-top Hope your pearl jam Can keep it strong They may have hated me, I don't know But I loved the way you played your role You couldn't stop to kick the jive It left your kin with salty eyes Higher and higher and higher and higher we go Where we stop I think nobody knows (nobody knows) Higher and higher and higher and higher we go Where we stop I think nobody knows (nobody knows) Higher and higher and higher and higher we go Where we stop I think nobody knows (nobody knows) You may have liked me, I don't know But I loved the way you played your role You couldn't stop to kick the jive It kicked you up to the sky
