Davy's got a lesson, learned it the hard way

He's now a broken hearted man, and he hasn't got a word to say

He roll like a fence post, he stand like a tire

He's been thrown to the lions, says he wanna join the rodeo.

And it's a dogone shame that he's a dog on a chain

He says he'll find a way back, maybe buy a cadillac

He wants a place to call his own, and his finger nails are turning black

He fly like a night stand, run like an old clock

He bought himself a six string, if you listen you can hear him rock.

And it's a doggone shame that he's a dog on a chain

Some say he'll make it thru while others claim he's just a fool

And it's a doggone shame that he's a dog on a chain.
