Stray Dog Lyrics

Verse 1

I was a stray dog
On a highway highway
Nobody wanted me, nobody wanted me
I was a broken boy
Too scared to find my way
No place to settle down, no place to settle down

Chorus

But then I started singing
And I heard my voice ring
I found the courage to stand up and fight
And I got my chance
With the devil’s romance
He said, “Boy, come on and take me for a ride!”

Verse 2

I made it to the city
Where the lights never die
Everyone was looking for a bright star
I was the one with the key
To living out my dreams
Never had to worry ’bout the pain, never had to worry ’bout the pain

Chorus

But then I started singing
And I heard my voice ring
I found the courage to stand up and fight
And I got my chance
With the devil’s romance
He said, “Boy, come on and take me for a ride!”

Verse 3

I’m a different man now
I’m living on the road
Gonna make my dreams come true
Just like a rolling stone
I’m gonna take my fame
All over the world
Gonna write the stories of my life, gonna write the stories of my life

Chorus

Cause I’m still singing
And I hear my voice ring
I found the courage to stand up and fight
And I got my chance
With the devil’s romance
He said, “Boy, come on and take me for a ride!”
