Story Behind the Song
MY MOTIVATION FOR THIS SONG WAS MY TWO SONS AND THIER ST. BERNARD.
THE LYRICS ARE KIND OF A TAKEOFF ON WHAT A DOG ON A CHAIN MIGHT THINK IF HE COULD.
THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN IN UTAH.
IT DIDN`T TAKE ALL THAT LONG TO WRITE SINCE THE IDEA WAS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME.
THE RECORDING WENT FAIRLY SMOOTH.
I TRIED TO CHANGE THE FEEL IN THIS VERSION WITH CONGA DRUMS, KINDA LAID BACK.
Lyrics
SAD EYED SAM.
MY OLD FRIEND, HE`S REALLY GOT IT MADE.
SAD EYED SAM, HE`S LAZY ON THE GROUND.
A BIRD IS FLYIN` BYE, HE DOESN`T BAT AN EYE.
WHEN NEIGHBORS DIE, HE STILL DON`T LIFT HIS HEAD.
SAM DON`T TALK, HE DON`T HAVE MUCH TO SAY.
I KNOW A FEW WHO`D BE, MUCH BETTER OFF THAT WAY.
`
CHORUS
LATE AT NIGHT HE`S ALL ALONE, IN THE MORNIN` WITHOUT A CARE.
THERE AIN`T NO ONE GONNA BOTHER YOU IF THERE AIN`T NOBODY THERE
LET `EM FIGHT THIER WARS, THEY CAN DEAL THEIR WHORES,
THEY CAN RUN THIS COUNTRY RANK.
BUT WITH THE PEOPLE GONE, HE`LL BE ALONE AND HE`LL STILL BE THE SAME.
HE WOKE TODAY, THE SKY WAS TURNIN` GREY.
THE RAIN FALL DOWN, HE`S LAZY ON THE GROUND.
IT DOESN`T MEAN A THING, HE`S HAPPY IN THE RAIN.
MY FRIENDS ARE FEW, BUT SAM IS ONE THAT`S TRUE,
.THE GAIL WINDS BLOW, BUT SAM IS ONE I KNOW.
I KEEP HIM ON A CHAIN, BUT HE LOVES ME JUST THE SAME.
