I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn’t Run

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I told him my dog wouldn't run Told him I loved someone Yeah, that's my old car out in the parking lot I saw him when he first walked in I thought it was a vision of him He was looking like, like where he had been He was looking kind of fragile [Chorus] He said I read the Bible every day To try to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away [Verse 2] My friend said, "Was he always like that?" Well I said, "Yeah, but he was never this bad" Well, I remember us playing for nickels and dimes Out on the corner Yeah, I asked him to marry me once Well, he told me he couldn't because He said this would be all that there was [Chorus] He said I read the Bible every day To try to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away [Verse 3] I was laughing but I didn't get the joke He was dying to light up a smoke And I wanted to cry In the fluorescent light of the restaurant So I smiled as I got up to go I was hoping for a goodbye to hold Well it was kind of like, kind of like touching a ghost So I ran when I walked out [Chorus] Well he said I read the Bible every day Just to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away He said I read the Bible every day Just to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away He said I read the Bible every day Just to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away
