about

Well it should be obvious that this song is about that place of despair that some of us sink down into when someone we love is leaving us, and we know there isn't a damn thing we can do about it. That much is true. But the inspiration for the song was actually a most beloved and cherished dog, who ran away from his people one day. It was a very sad ending, for this dog never did walk the earth again, and all who knew him have been very sad ever since.

lyrics

Something says it's gonna be a sad dog day
Nothing I can do that's gonna make you stay
Nothing I can say that's gonna change your mind
Something says I'm gonna get left behind

So I'm gonna take that well worn whiskey trail
Don't bother me, I'll be sitting at the bottom of the well

Something says its gonna be a long cold night
So I'm gonna sip that bottle till the well runs dry
Spill my sorrow till the light of day
Nothing I can I can do that's gonna make you stay

So I'm gonna take that well worn whiskey trail
Don't bother me, I'll be sitting at the bottom of the well
