I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn't Run

I told him that my dog wouldn't run

I told him that I loved someone

Yeah, that's my old car out in the parking lot

I saw him when he first walked in

I thought it was a vision of him

He was looking like where he had been

He was looking kind of fragile

He said I read the Bible everyday

To try to keep the demons at bay

Thank God when the sun goes down

I don't blow away

My friend said, was he always like that

I said yeah, but he was never this bad

I remember us playing for nickels and dimes

Out on the corner

I asked him to marry me once

He told me he couldn't because

This would be all that there was

He said I read the Bible very day

To try to keep the demons at bay

Thank God when the sun goes down

I don't blow away

He was laughing but I didn't get the joke

He was dying to light up a smoke

And I wanted to cry

In the florescent light of the restaurant

So I smiled and I got up to go

I was hoping for a goodbye to hold

But it was kinda like touching a ghost

So I ran when I walked out

Well, he said I read the Bible every day

Just to keep the demons at bay

Thank God when the sun goes down

I don't blow away
