Lyrics

The dogs of Summer
Out running free
Packs of hounds nose to the ground
See what they can see
There's road kill 'n garbage Dogs taste it all
Left behind, pay no mind To the dogs of the Fall

Together they run
Mastered by none
Outlaws unchained
But it ain't like being free

The dogs of Winter
Life in the now
Hit by a truck, out of luck
Pushed off by a plow
In Spring dogs thaw
And it's hard to tell
Who they belong to
But no one likes the smell

Together they run
Mastered by none
Outlaws unchained
But it ain't like being free
