I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn't Run - Patty Larkin

I told him that my dog wouldn't run

I told him that I loved someone

Yeah, that's my old car out in the parking lot

I saw him when he first walked in

I thought it was a vision of him

He was lookiing like where he had been

Looking kind of fragile

He said

I read the Bible everyday

Trying to keep the demons at bay

Thank God when the sun goes down

I don't blow away

My friend said, was he always like that

I said yeah, but he was never this bad

I remember us playing for nickels and dimes

Out on the corner

I asked him to marry me once

He told me he couldn't because

This would be all that there was

He said

I read the Bible very day

Trying to keep the demons at bay

Thank God when the sun goes down

I don't blow away

He was laughing but I didn't get the joke

He was dying to light up a smoke

And I wanted to cry

In the fluorescent light of the restaurant

I smiled and I got up to go

I was hoping for a goodbye to hold

But it was kinda like touching a ghost

So I ran when I walked out

He said

I read the Bible every day

Trying to keep the demons at bay

Thank God when the sun goes down

I don't blow away

I got in my car and I drove

Over the bridge to the coast

Wondering where does old love go

@geefleandgonk Thanks for mentioning Nanci Griffith...I've never listened to any of her work, but I just finished listening to "So Long Ago." Great piece on situation driven heartbreak indeed. I'm biased when it comes to heartbreak songs because I prefer to hear them sung by a woman, especially one whose voice really conveys the feeling of a broken heart and the reason(s) that led to it.

In my mind, this song is sort of a twin of Nanci Griffith's "So Long Ago". Very few songs have ever truly captured the heartbreak of the world or circumstances driving apart two people who really love each other. I hope this isn't sexist, but I wonder if it's not just coincidence that two female artists have been the only ones to do it. At any rate, this is a truly great song.
