I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn't Run

I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn't Run I told him that I loved someone Yeah, that's my old car out in the parking lot I saw him when he first walked in I thought it was a vision of him He was lookiing like where he had been Looking kind of fragile He said I read the Bible everyday Trying to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away My friend said, was he always like that I said yeah, but he was never this bad I remember us playing for nickels and dimes Out on the corner I asked him to marry me once He told me he couldn't because This would be all that there was He said I read the Bible very day Trying to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away He was laughing but I didn't get the joke He was dying to light up a smoke And I wanted to cry In the florescent light of the restaurant I smiled and I got up to go I was hoping for a goodbye to hold But it was kinda like touching a ghost So I ran when I walked out He said I read the Bible every day Trying to keep the demons at bay Thank God when the sun goes down I don't blow away I got in my car and I drove Over the bridge to the coast Wondering where does old love go
