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.
