Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bramble thickets catch my jacket sleeve
Saffron sun going down through broken leaves
I left a cradle rocking by the door
Left the murmur of her voice I can't ignore
[Pre-Chorus] I tangled up my roots in thorns and rain
And I'll tear myself loose till nothing stays
[Chorus] I'm a stray dog snapping at the moon
Ripped jeans and restless hands
Howling down the back roads too soon
Yelling about the promises I planned
This old heart is a wild idea
And I keep running while the road is here
[Post-Chorus] Running while the road is here
(Stray dog)
Lord I'm running
[Verse 2] Every fence I climb leaves a scar to show
Every zephyr breeze tells me where to go
I stole nothing but the fading light
But they still chase a man who takes to flight
[Pre-Chorus] Yeah the world don't care where a heart's been
They just want the ones who won't give in
[Chorus] I'm a stray dog snapping at the moon
Ripped jeans and restless hands
Howling down the back roads too soon
Yelling about the promises I planned
This old heart is a wild idea
And I keep running while the road is here
[Post-Chorus] Running while the road is here
(Stray dog)
Lord I'm running
[Bridge] One day the tangle's gonna hold me still
One day the paradox will cut the thrill
Till then I'll ride this cracked white line
With nothing but a stray dog's crooked mind
[Chorus] I'm a stray dog snapping at the moon
Ripped jeans and restless hands
Howling down the back roads too soon
Yelling about the promises I planned
This old heart is a wild idea
And I keep running while the road is here
[Post-Chorus] Running while the road is here
(Stray dog)
Lord I'm running
