Beat Farmers - Lonesome Hound lyrics

rate me

There ain't a whole lotta things in this world that mean too much to me

Just a beat-up old guitar and some clouded memories

Well and you know I've searched for something but that something can't be found

And I don't believe there's nothing that can tame this lonesome hound

Well Cindy tried to help me but it made her love run cold

She could never figure out just what was torturing my soul

Well there's an anger deep inside and it's scorching me to death

Drink another shot of whiskey and it might make me forget

Joe Business Suit is smiling and he's looking right at me

But no money has been minted that can set this hound dog free

Well the humming of the street lights has become a friendly sound

And I walk those streets at night trying to tame that lonesome hound

Now I'm racing down the highway from a devil I can't see

I know he's right behind me but he'll never catch up on me

Well his fire burns my neck, he's trying to run me to the ground

But this old boy's too fast, he'll never catch that lonesome hound

Well and I know that there ain't nothing that can tame that lonesome hound
