Dogtown Lyrics - Wicked Twisted Road - Reckless Kelly

We laid around Dogtown a summer ago 

Good ol' man winter was fresh out of snow 

When the leaves had left town 

She followed them out 

Running from rural and cold 

I told her I'd visit 

If the roads didn't close 

The clouds opened up 

And then down came the snow 

And the days turned to weeks 

And the weeks felt like months 

Burning ol' memories and anthracite coal 

And I hung out in Dogtown too long once again 

Winter time draws me back in 

All the birds have flown south 

And the gold's come and gone 

And I hung out in Dogtown too long 

Sometimes I wonder why I stick around 

Even the cathouse has long been torn down 

And how many dog years does a man have to kill 

To know there's no luck or love left in these hills 

And I hung out in Dogtown too long 

Setting like warm solstice sun 

All the gold's turned to green and birds have flown home 

And I hung out in Dogtown too long 

A face I remember from so long ago 

Returned with another in love I could see 

But I'll show her one day 'cause I know that someday 

I'm gonna make somethin' of me 

So I'm leaving Dogtown at dawn 

Seeking my fortune and fame 

Cause my heart has grown cold 

From a love come and gone 

As I hung out in Dogtown too long
