[Verse 1]
Where my sleeping dog lies, oh yeah
Little people throw stones
You have to learn all your lessons
Before you can go home
[Verse 2]
And baby, this is no place to rest
Unless you're tired to the bone
Why don't you move it on over
To the side of the road
[Chorus 1]
Where sleeping dogs lie
By the side of the road
You have to learn all of your lessons
Before you can go home
[Verse 3]
Well, it rained on my birthday
I would never have known
'Cause the sweet love you gave me
Made my inner heart glow
[Verse 4]
And with you by my side and truth
I can face the unknown
If our unity's broken
It will come back on its own
[Chorus 1]
Sleeping dogs lie
By the side of the road
We have to learn all the lessons
Before we can go home
[Post-Chorus]
You have to just keep on doin' it
No matter how hard it gets
Baby, don't go
So baby, don't go
[Verse 5]
On that black ribbon highway
I think it's beyond belief
That you could give me a rainbow
To ease my feelings of grief
[Verse 6]
And it's bliss being nowhere now
Just keeping watch on my mind
And remembering your promise
Will give life to the dead, sight back to the blind
[Chorus 1]
Where sleeping dogs lie
By the side of the road
You have to learn all of these lessons
Before we, before we can go home
[Post-Chorus]
You have to just keep on doin' it
No matter how hard it gets
Baby, don't go
Baby, don't go
[Chorus 2]
Let sleeping dogs lie
Let little people throw stones
And when it misses your eye
You'll see it's divine justice, yeah
So roll away the stone, roll it, roll it
[Chorus 3]
Let sleeping dogs lie
By the side of the road
And when it hits you in the heart
You'll see it's right on target, yeah
Roll away the stone, yeah, roll it, roll it
[Chorus 4]
Let sleeping dogs lie
Let people throw stones
And when it misses your eye
You'll see it's divine justice, yeah
Roll away the stone, roll it, roll it
[Chorus 5]
Let sleeping dogs lie
Let people throw stones
And when it hits you in the heart
You'll see it's right on target, yeah
Roll away the stone, yeah, roll it, roll it
[Outro]
Let sleeping dogs lie
By the side of the road
You have to just keep on doin' it
No matter how hard it gets
Baby, don't go
No baby, don't go
Let sleeping dogs lie
