Stray Dogs

[Verse 1]
[Grieve?] this angel out the window
Free-wheelin' til it's [gone/scarred]
I slithered down Old Oak Canyon to Sunset Boulevard
No Indian Nation Turnpike the road is never free
When you're searchin' for new answers and someone else to be
I remember oh so well
The summer before we fell

[Chorus]
We were runnin' like two stray dogs
Chasin' squirrels through the stones
Beat a path across thе graveyard
Spittin' hellfire in our bonеs
You tore your favourite flannel
And I muddied up my boots
We were pullin' up our raisin'
By its Oklahoma roots

[Verse 2]
I [ ] better angels
We drink from a flask
That stained our lips with consequence and filled our souls with ash
Caught light'nin' in a bottle just to watch it bleed
Like a coronary artery or a melody in need
Time was on our side
The world was open wide

[Chorus]
We were runnin' like two stray dogs
Chasin' squirrels through the stones
Beat a path across the graveyard
Spittin' hellfire in our bones
You tore your favourite flannel
And I muddied up my boots
We were pullin' up our raisin'
By its Oklahoma roots

[Verse 3]
Well I've studied like a writer
The expressions on your face
Memorised its every curve I know some day the days'll take
Prepared my recollection with the time I have killed
I could learn you another lifetime but you'd mystify me still
I remember oh so well
The summer 'fore we fell

[Chorus]
We were runnin' like two stray dogs
Chasin' squirrels through the stones
Beat a path across the graveyard
Spittin' hellfire in our bones
You tore your favourite flannel
And I muddied up my boots
We were pullin' up our raisin'
By its Oklahoma roots

[Outro]
Oklahoma roots
Oklahoma roots
