Dog On A Chain - Emitt Rhodes

«You ain’t no good», I hear her say

Under her breath as she turns away

«I'll take the car i’ll take the house

I’ll take the kids and then i’ll turn you out»

I was led along like a dog on a chain

Out in the cold, out in the rain

I was led along like a dog on a leash

I did as told while she did as she pleased

I was led along like a dog on my knees

She berates me, calls me crazy

Certifiably insane

Once she praised me, now she hates me

I can’t see how I have changed

I was led along like a dog on a chain

Out in the cold, out in the rain

I was led along like a dog on a leash

I did as told while she did as she pleased

I was led along like a dog on my knees

Love’s not easy love’s not kind

It only works when you’re half blind

Don’t be the only one to sacrifice

Don’t be the only one to compromise

Standing frozen my mouth open

Though I did what they say

Can’t conceive it or believe it

Though it’s just as plain as day

I was led along like a dog on a chain

Out in the cold, out in the rain

I was led along like a dog on a leash

I did as told while she did as she pleased

I was led along like a dog on my knees
