Dog on a Chain Lyrics by Emitt Rhodes

Rainbow Ends

2016

[Verse 1]
"You ain't no good", I hear her say
Under her breath as she turns away
"I'll take the car, I'll take the house
I'll take the kids and then I'll turn you out"
[Chorus]
I was led along like a dog on a chain
Out in the cold, out in the rain
I was led along like a dog on a leash
I did as told while she did as she pleased
I was led along like a dog on my knees
[Verse 2]
She berates me, calls me crazy
Certifiably insane
Once she praised me, now she hates me
I can't see how I have changed
[Chorus]
I was led along like a dog on a chain
Out in the cold, out in the rain
I was led along like a dog on a leash
I did as told while she did as she pleased
I was led along like a dog on my knees
[Bridge]
Love's not easy, love's not kind
It only works when you're half-blind
Don't be the only one to sacrifice
Don't be the only one to compromise
[Verse 3]
Standing frozen, my mouth open
Though I did what they say
Can't conceive it or believe it
Though it's just as plain as day
[Chorus]
I was led along like a dog on a chain
Out in the cold, out in the rain
I was led along like a dog on a leash
I did as told while she did as she pleased
I was led along like a dog on my knees
