I've been swallowing my pride I've been struggling not to fight I've been strong Oh so strong And I've gone that extra mile Cause I thought I'd make you smile I was wrong So damn wrong Keep on howlin mama Keep on howlin at the moon I'll be on my way now pretty soon Keep on howlin mama Keep on howlin at the moon This ole dog's been sleeping But he's running pretty soon So keep on howlin mama Howlin at the moon You've been barking up the wrong tree All them shoes and juvelary They kept walking over me What a waste what a waste I'm just glad I kept the car It will take me pretty far Far away far away
