I wouldn't name her burden Or call it mistake Or blame them on any Pissed decision I've made Respect for the man Who pretended to be strong Or the woman who helped me Find my song Blood of a mutt Whipped like a dog Yes I'm a man Though it's taken me so long Formed by the fools Who poisoned my guts With a vengeance to prove it all wrong Lying on the tracks of influence Of every passing fling Every judgement I make Every song that I sing Friends and Foes Every fork in the road Add my tears to my tab And leave me enough to get home Blood of a mutt Whipped like a dog Yes I'm a man Though it's taken me so long Formed by the fools Who poisoned my guts With a vengeance of hatred and love With my heart in my pocket Both feet on the gas Feel her as my guide Memories made ash Each by my side So I'm never alone Add my years to my time But leave me enough for the road Blood of a mutt Beat like a dog Yes I'm a man Though it's taken me so long Formed by the fools Who poisoned my guts With a vengeance to prove them all wrong
