Southern accents

Well we come with what was on our backs
 Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black
 Back when the wind was cold and blew them 'round
 When we laid our blankets on the ground
 Yeah and I woke up feelin' hungry
 Lookin' straight into the sun, and left a cold night on the ground
 Like a dog on the run --


 I fell overboard and washed up on the beach
 Yes, let the waves and sand roll over me
 I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde
 Who said, "honey I discovered early in life there's ways of getting
 Anything I want, some of us are different
 It's just something in our blood, there's no need for explanations
 We're just dogs on the run"


 The room was painted blue and grey
 All my meals were served on a silver tray
 Oh she would laugh, and light my cigarettes
 She said, "honey, ain't it funny how a crowd gathers around
 Anyone living life without a net?
 And how they'll beg you for the answers
 But it won't ever be enough, there's no way you could ever tell 'em
 It's just dogs on the run --
