If my mind's a sky The clouds come from my heart But I see the sun come a shining through That silver lining part I don't wanna be a tree Where all the cats, run away to me I don't wanna be the sea Where all the water, carry my love away I wanna be a dog I wanna be a dog I wanna be a dog I wanna be a dog Sitting down by the river A mile from my home I got this girl beside me But inside i got nothing at all I don't wanna be a tree Where all the cats, run away to me I don't wanna be the sea Where all the water, carry my love away I wanna be a dog I wanna be a dog I wanna be a dog I wanna be a dog -Dawg Yawp
