carry me

written by brad layher and ryan long

woke up on the carpet, tv still on,
maybe it's the morning maybe morning's gone,
and i'm lonely like lonely is alone,
my bloodhound dover, with his saggy old jaw,
licked me awake, teeth and gums is all i saw,
and i'm lonely like lonely is alone,
me and old dover we're a pitiful pair,
eyes filled up with sadness while we're waggin' our tales...
if today's not too busy, could you carry me,
down to the river, and wash me clean,
cause i'm sickened with sadness, like a willow tree,
could you carry me, won't you carry me.
wise old owl, up in the old oak tree,
tell me how many licks it takes, to get to me,
cause i'm lonely like lonely is alone,
wise old owl, up in the old oak tree,
answered my question, with a one line decree,
and i'm lonely like lonely is alone,
he said you can surround yourself, with people and fun,
if you ain't got a friend, you ain't got none,
now you can surround yourself, with people and fun,
if you ain't got a friend, you're the lonely one...
