Black Dog Blues

[Verse 1]
Old black dog’s been runnin’ my trail,
Howlin’ at my shadow, raisin’ hell,
Four bald tires on this rusted rig,
Smell of whiskey and a cigarette’s twig.
[Prechorus]
The road’s long, the night’s too wide,
And I’ve got the devil ridin’ inside.
[Chorus]
Black dog barkin’, I can’t shake free,
Growlin’ deep in the dark of me,
Truck wheels hummin’, the moon won’t rest,
Chasin’ my sins, got a weight on my chest.
[Verse 2]
She had eyes like fire, lips like wine,
Tangled in her sheets, lost track of time,
But love don’t linger when the sun comes up,
Now it’s diesel and dust in a beat-up truck.
[Bridge]
Every mile’s a memory I can’t forget,
Her touch still lingers, I’m payin’ the debt,
The black dog laughs as the gears grind on,
Another night falls, another love gone.
[Chorus]
Black dog barkin’, I can’t shake free,
Growlin’ deep in the dark of me,
Truck wheels hummin’, the moon won’t rest,
Chasin’ my sins, got a weight on my chest.
