Singing the Dogs to Sleep ft. Carhartt Lyrics

I'm singing the dogs to sleep

I'm singing so they don't eat me

Escapin' their jaws, their razor sharp teeth

'Cause I'm singing the dogs to sleep

He's barking like a hound

I'm trying to calm him down

But he's under whiskey's tease

And I'm singing the dogs to sleep

I'm holding the bone

I'm calling him home

Why he's not coming, hell that beats me

'Cause I'm singing the dogs to sleep

He first bit me and I cried cold

I was only four fucking years old

But now his anger, no it don't scare me

'Cause I'm singing the dogs to sleep

I can smell the nectar on his breath

And it'll be that way up till his death

And he's killing himself with speed

But now I'm singing the dogs to sleep

In the warm sun, that's where he'll lie

In the wet grass, that's where he'll die

In the cold dirt, they'll lay him in peace

I'm singing the dogs to sleep

Up in Georgetown is where he'll be

With his sisters, his brothers, and me

And, God, I hate him but when he's gone I'll weep

I'm singing the dogs to sleep

It'll tear me all up inside

But I'd give my whole heart to try

Just to make sure that's not how I'll be

Since I'm singing the dogs to sleep

In the field, I'll lie with my heart

And my brain, it's been rippin' me apart

And the cardinal is calling out to me

Yeah it's singing the dogs to sleep

Yeah it's singing the dogs to sleep

Yeah he's singing the dogs to sleep
