lyrics

When I was just a baby back in Ruskin Heights
Tornado 57 on a Friday night
A scooting on a rug on a hardwood floor
If Mama hadn’t grabbed me I’d been sucked out of the door - singing
DOGLEG - to the left, DOGLEG - to the right
DOGLEG - life do not go in any one direction - singing
DOGLEG - to the country , DOGLEG - and back to town
DOGLEG - it do not pay to follow me down

Me and brother Billy were beginning our search
While our daddy played the guitar at the Methodist Church
Cheating heart - rattling China - wailed the gospel choir
Blowing up salvation on a long trip wire - singing
DOGLEG - to the future, DOGLEG - and Billy’s gone
DOGLEG - life do not go according to directions - singing
DOGLEG - mend the muscle, DOGLEG - set the bone
DOGLEG - it do not pay to follow me home

I was bumping out of Dixie just as I’d been trained
Nothing ever ventured was nothing ever gained
With the flash of a bulb I was chasing the muse
Broke through the smoke and the smell of the fuse

Hour on hour till the end of the week,
Minute after moment of the blissfully bleak
Day after day on a captainless ship
Taking turn after turn on this mobius trip - singing
DOGLEG - to the left, DOGLEG - to the right
DOGLEG - life do not go in any one direction - singing
DOGLEG - when I’m lost, DOGLEG - where can I be
DOGLEG - it just might pay to wander with me
