Songtexte Losing the Dogs (Live) - Ten Years After

Ah... Let me hear it now! All... right!
Well you work the day sweatin' while
You're tryin' to earn your bread, ha!
Well you gotta work hard man, knock yourself dead - haooww!
Well you wanna drink of water, man you ain't got time to stop
Alright - the man said it's better
For ya workin' til you drop, work on!
Well you're workin' for the boss man all the day long
The trouble with my life is I lived
It all wrong, hey! - Lived it wrong baby
Hey-oh, ya gotta make it work - gotta make it soon, oh-yeah
I only gotta wait til there ain't no moon - hey!
You gotta lose the dogs and keep a runnin' on, hey-yeah
When you wake up in the mornin', baby I'll be gone - I'm gone!
Well I live a life of ease - well I ain't got no pain
They're never gonna get me on the farm again
Ain't workin' like a dog - aw... ain't workin' nowhere - alright!
Hah... Yeah... I'm on a slave gang... Oh!
Oh yeah, yea... eah,
Alright - I'm gonna tell you something - oh yeah,
Well I'm lying by myself and I'm
Thinking about my wife - yeah, ha, ha!
The last time I saw her she was lying on my knife - and that's a fact!
I tried to make it runnin' but they caught me next day - mercy!
The world is in my cell, and I'm wastin' time away
Well I don't know why I bother boy, I don't know why I care
The preacher's been to see me, and I'm going to the chair - ha, ha
See if I care, burn me up! Alright, I'll get 'em back someday!
No more work for me man - I won't have a care!
