This song started life with the working title 'Late'.
I said I was going to post 2 different versions of the finished song together but, as usual, I was lying.
So here's version 1 and I would like to thank all those who helped me along the way:
Captain Fantastic (Ralph) - vocals
Musicfort (Bob) - bass
Doc Midnite (Henry) - outro solo right side
toadman (Me) - guitars, drum program, outro solo left side
Bob (the dog) - outro bark
My ex-pet Bob. Music & Lyrics - toadman (c) 2011
Well I woke up this morning, turned to my wife
I forgot she'd left me with a hole in my life
Walked down the hall to check on the kids
They're gone too, my life's on the skids
I stepped out the back to talk to the dog
He'd left a note signed "Your ex-pet, Bob"
"You treat me like an animal, I get no respect
I'll take my stuff and leave a bill from the vet
I gave you loyalty and you gave me fleas
I ran away today, don't contact me please"
Well I walked down the road to see my friend Al
It's times like these you need your closest pal
There was no answer & I thought that was odd
As I walked away I heard a voice say "Thank God"
