Lyrics

I was born in a one room house
On the edge of a swamp
in the middle of the suburbs
'Bout the time I figured out
There was much to discover
Thought I had it all in my hands
Till it burned like a fire
That I couldn't put out
The flames getting higher
That's when I knew that I had the desire
To be more than a junk yard dog
(Here kitty-kitty kitty)
I think that I got something for you
Get down to the nitty-gritty
But whatever you do
Don't put me out with the cat....

Say you wont put me for sale
And sell me on down the road
Leave my ass on the trail
So you can lighten your load
I hope you can't put a price
On something priceless you love
It comes to standing your ground yeah
When push comes to shove

Solo-

Guess I gotta say so far so good
With the world off my shoulders
The tunnel looks like there's
some light ahead,
in the distant darkness
Half a chance we might see
everything we could imagine
in our mind
There is no time for clouds
there's only sunshine,
rays of everlasting technicolor
dreams of life
I think that I got something for you
Get down to the nitty-gritty
But whatever you do
Don't put me out with the trash....

Say you wont put me for sale
And sell me on down the road
Leave my ass on the trail
So you can lighten your load
I hope you can't put a price on something
Priceless you love
It comes to standing your ground yeah
When push comes to shove
