Dead Dog Memories

Well I can remember like yesterday
When my puppy got runned 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 is happenin' all over again

It ain't lookin' like you and me
Are gonna ever be we
I ain't nothin' you'll ever want
That's plain to see
But me, oh my
How I wonder why I
Can't ever let a dead dog lie

Well I oughta give up, but I just keep tryin'
Keep lookin' for that love light that just won't shine
Refuse to believe that you can't never be mine
I guess that 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 gonna ever be we
I ain't nothin' you'll ever want
That's plain to see
But me, oh my
How I wonder why I
Can't ever let a dead dog lie
No I can't never let a dead dog lie
