The Bottle Rockets - Dead Dog Memories lyrics

I can remember like it was yesterday When my puppy got run over by a Chevrolet Daddy said 'he's gone son you're gonna have to say goodbye' I never could do it no matter what he said I refused to believe my dog was dead Now I can see this happenin' all over again It ain't lookin' like you and me are ever going to be we I ain't nothin' you'll ever want, it's plain to see But me oh my, I wonder why I Can't ever let a dead dog lie I ought to give up, but I keep tryin' Keep lookin' for a lovelight that just won't shine I refuse to see that you can't ever be mine I guess it's true, the things I do Cause the pain that I go through But dead dog memories don't fade away with time It ain't lookin' like you and me are ever going to be we I ain't nothin' you'll ever want, it's plain to see But me oh my, I wonder why I Can't ever let a dead dog lie I can't ever let a dead dog lie
