Pompeii's Dogs

Here come of late its all hope and hard ways
With a white hot truth clinched in the jaw y’all
I done played the cards that the devil’s dealer dealt
And spent the time with Pompeii’s dogs

We was out back singin’

A two dollar bill and a faded photograph
It’s all I owned, yeah this I know
Done paid the cost and damn sure paid them dues
All hand to mouth with words to roam

We was out back singin’

And I’ll play the game indeed you got one
Or play a little catch with a hand grenade
Up from the ashes with a cold hard breath
Just a dirt road dog of Pompeii

We was out back singin’
