Give me a dollar or give me 50 cents Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant Give me a coat or give me a bite Give me the a light bulb and make sure it's bright Give me the moon or give me everywhere Give me some powder to spray up in the air Chorus: Let me take my thoughts away To think about another day Remembering the times I pray To help me deal with me To be the dogman Give me some attention lend me your ear Give me what to do and get me out of here Give me a book, give me something to read Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead Chorus: Let me take my thoughts away To think about another day Remembering the times I pray To help me deal with me To be the dogman All the sleeping never waking All the leaves in need of raking All the business undertaking All my bones and muscles aching Thoughts are mind are surely flaking Over luncheons hands are shaking Surety of no mistaking Cars and horns and gla** is breaking Give me a color make it black or white Give me a newspaper tell me if it's right Give me a nail or give me a bat Give me a skinny or give me a fat Chorus: Remembering the times I pray To let me take my thoughts away To think about another day To help me deal with me..... To help me deal with me..... To be the dogman
