The Dogs

I'm thinking that I'm gonna make it now
 I said I'd give it a try
 But the same old habits trickle down
 And leave me hanging out to dry
 But before I chose to do it all
 I had to fine a new light
 The dogs were great, but they were small
 And I was the only one that they'd bite
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 The fire is burning hot tonight
 I think I stay here inside
 Calm my nerves and try to write
 And shed my prejudiced pride
 They're seemingly simple tasks to have
 And yet they fill me with dread
 Four legs good and two legs bad
 Chase each other around in my head
 If I'm not looking out for where I'm giving in
 It'll be another hit I'll take on the chin
 And when it heals and the scarring's started to fade
 I'll go right back to where I tried to begin
 If I can't stop it, no one can
 It makes no sense to slow down
 And one trip through my neighborhood
 Can make me despise this town
 As several people pass me by
 I felt the ice in their eyes
 And my reflection came to mind
 And it forced me to realize
 That if I'm not looking out for where I'm giving in
 It'll be another hit I'll take on the chin
 And when it heals and the scarring's started to fade
 I'll go right back to where I tried to begin
 I'm thinking that I'm gonna make it now
 I said I'd give it a try
 But the same old habits trickle down
 And leave me hanging out to dry
 But before I choose to do it all
 I'll have to find some new light
 The dogs were great, but they were small
 And I was the only one that they'd bite
