Morrison’s Dog

[Verse 1]
Mountain market, Laurel Canyon, L.A
A quiet beer, a beautiful day
Homesick came when I saw
A familiar face painted on a wall
Now, I've had dogs since I could walk
Always wished they could talk
This one had a tale to tell
Stung my eyes, closed my throat, and drew my chest in tight

[Chorus]
Morrison's dog froze back to a brilliant litter
Words were stronger, thoughts were clearer
Rights were determined by wrong getting nowhere to go
It's just nostalgia but it sure hits you
West coast sun in a rear-view mirror
Venice summer rising out of the fog
Calling Morrison's dog

[Verse 2]
A world away, a poet passed in Paris
The ancient ones recalled their wayward son
The dog appeared, and locals have it
When Jim shifted from his famous form, James came home

[Chorus]
Morrison's dog froze back to a brilliant litter
Words were stronger, thoughts were clearer
Rights were determined by wrong getting nowhere to go
It's just nostalgia but it sure hits you
West coast sun in a rear-view mirror
Venice summer rising out of the fog
Calling Morrison's dog

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Morrison's dog froze back to a brilliant litter
Words were stronger, thoughts were clearer
Rights were determined by wrong getting nowhere to go
It's just nostalgia, but it sure hits you
West coast sun in a rear-view mirror
Venice summer rising out of the fog
Calling Morrison's dog
Calling Morrison's dog, mm, hmm
