Black dog beside me
Keep me from trouble
Rain on the road
And no fence in sight
Black dog beside me
Follow the highway
Once 'round the ring
And out of the night
Is somebody dreaming us
Even the gold has gone to rust
Is somebody dreaming us
Dry mouth, I taste dust
Soon as you leave me
Trouble come my way
Rain on the road
And pack on the prowl
Lost my confessor
Lost my protector
Matter of time
And the pack will come down
Is somebody dreaming me
Painted eyes, wooden teeth
Is somebody dreaming me
But the black dog is no dream
Hey, why you run off so far from home
Pack tear you up and chew on your bones
They'll bury you under a piece of would that say
"He who run off always come home for good"
Black dog beside me
Keep me from trouble
Rain on the road
And no fence in sight
Walk beside me
Follow the highway
Twice 'round the ring
And into of the night
