big black dog

A big black dog
Little too much gray around the muzzle
A big black dog
How she ended up at the pound is a puzzle
A big black dog

Did she run away
Because somebody didnt treat her right?

Did they leave her out in the cold night air
Through lonely night?

A big black dog

A big black dog

I found her one day
Down there at the metro
A big black dog

Waiting in a cage in line for the death row

A big black dog

Did somebody put her out on the road
Did they just not care?

Did they think an old dog is too much trouble
For them to bear?

A big black dog
Her name is Bella, Bella
Youre not brown, youre not yellow
Bella, Bella

My big black dog

Big black dogs, theyre everywhere
Looking for a home, theyre hungry and scared
All they need is food and attention
To give you back love, sometimes redemption of sin

You could find it there in a big black dog

A big black dog

She may be a little rough around the edges

A big black dog

When you throw a ball, shell always go and fetch it
Big black dog

With a brand new leash and a brand new collar
Its a brand new game

I love to see the way she runs to me
When I holler out her name

My big black dog

Her name is Bella, Bella
Youre not brown, youre not yellow
Bella, Bella
My big black dog
