Dog

How do you know I don't have a soul? You can't look me in the eye and tell me no When a soul is a soul is a soul I've been forced down ever since I was just small Tied in the hall or chained out of doors When a soul is a soul is a soul While you claim the bed lifted up off the floor How do you know I'm not as good as you are? When a soul is a soul is a soul You have habits that define your kind But deny me mine most of the time And a soul is a soul is a soul You say that I need to be trained When I'm only doing what nature demands And a soul is a soul is a soul Leave me to sit by the kitchen door Just to watch it rain and listen to it pour A soul is a soul is a soul Rain down the water that created us both My old man's soul in this old dog's coat A soul is soul is a soul
