Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — Dogs On the Run

Well we come with what was on our backs Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black Back when the wind was cold and blew them around When we laid our blankets on the ground Yeah and I woke up feeling hungry Looking straight into the sun And left a cold night on the ground Like a dog on the run I fell overboard and washed up on a beach Let waves and sand roll over me I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde Who said "Honey, I discovered early in life There's ways of getting anything I want" Some of us are different It's just something in our blood There's no need for explanations We're just dogs on the run It's just dogs on the run Yes, the room was painted blue and grey All my meals came to me on a silver tray Yeah she would laugh and light my cigarettes She said "honey ain't it funny how a crowd gathers around Anyone living life without a net?" Yea how they'll beg you for the answer But it won't ever be enough There's no way you could ever tell 'em It's just dogs on the run It's just dogs on the run It's just dogs on the run, babe Like a dog on the run Like a dog on the run Like a dog Like a dog Like a dog on the run Yeah
