7. Drive By
I was the driver for the drive-by of the neighbor's dog Dad had always hated him so he said "Come on son, "Get into the Vega now and I'll go get my shotgun" It was a military holiday and kids were everywhere I hid behind the steering wheel and tried to disappear I tried to speak but couldn't, Dad was whistling and drinking beer And I prayed "Dear God, if You save this dog "I will never get high, I will never jack off "I will be all the things that I should but have not "I'll be a good boy from now on" We turned around the corner soon and saw the neighbor's yard Dad lit up a cigarette and rolled his window down And grinning like an idiot he stuck his head and body out And I prayed "Dear God, if You save this dog "I will never get high, I will never jack off "I will be all the things that I should but have not "I'll be a good boy from now on" Well he popped in a shell and took aim with the gun Then a flash and a bang and the dog it was gone Jumped up and he ran away Dad had shot right through his chain Dad said "Take me to the Dairy Freeze, I want to have a shake" We sipped them on the benches there and stared out on the lake And Dad has never said another word about that day And I hope you're not disappointed, God 'Cause I still get high and I still jack off And you knew I was lying but you still saved that dog You're such a good God Such a good, good God And I'll be a good boy from now on These lyrics have been
