Charlie and Chloe

Charlie lost his parents when they were hunting sheep
Ranchers in Wyoming they got livestock to keep 
Charlie found their doorstep just an orphan coyote pup
They did her best to raise him and show him a little love 



Chloe she’s a hound dog raised to round a herd 

Chases anything that moves you just say the word 
When humans are around, Charlie hides out in the rough 
But Chloe loves attention can never enough

Two sides of the evolutionary track
She’s built for domesticity he was born to watch his back

Chloe’s out each morning surveying with her nose 
Charlie he’s not far behind her anywhere she goes 
Since hanging out with Chloe, Charlie’s acting less remote
And since listening to Charlie, Chloe barks like a coyote

Two sides of the evolutionary track
She’s built for domesticity he was born to watch his back

Charlie’s not a pet Chloe isn’t wild

But they’ve found some common ground between the two
Charlie doesn’t fetch Chloe never hides
They’ve got their roles and they both know exactly what they’re s’posed to do

Two dogs in Wyoming but they’re like day and night 
Chloe’s a social butterfly Chuck’s the solitary type 
Wish I was wired as simple as a canine’s DNA 
Then I’d know when to wag my tail or instead just run away

Two sides of the evolutionary track
She’s built for domesticity he was born to watch his back
Two sides of the evolutionary track
She’s built for domesticity he was born to watch his back
