Short Leash

I left my fathers wake in waiting

Alright

I know I'm young, soon I'll be dated

Alright

Write me a note, send me a letter, give me a call

I feel good

Sure'd feel better

If i was where you are

Lying on me me now

I got my mind on time

And turning pages

She said she wants a friend

She don't need no anchor

I'll paddle past the part timers

Pulling weight here

Or I'll die dry on whiskey covered pavement

They had me on a short leash

I'm runnin' wild

If I bare teeth, honey they'll let me

Go out in style

I left my lovers love in anticipation

As soon as things got good

Hit the road

Ran away again

I'll keep my senses

Fuck the rest

I was staring down the sunset

I hit the throttle

While I sip from the bottle

Crashed the car

And towed in on home to you now

They had me on a short leash

I'm runnin' wild

If I bare teeth, honey they'll let me

Go out in style

Don't tell them where I'm headed

Don't tell them where I've been

Don't tell them where I am

Won't buy what they're selling

Sick and tired of spelling it all out for them

They had me on a short leash

I'm runnin' wild

If I bare teeth, honey they'll let me

Go out in
