Glen Phillips - Drive by

 

 



I was the driver for the drive-by of the neighbor's dog

Dad had always hated him and he said 'Come on son,

'Get into the Vega now and I'll go get my shotgun'

It was a military holiday and kids were everywhere

I hid behind the steering wheel and tried to disappear

I tried to speak but couldn't, Dad was whistling and drinking beer



And I prayed 'Dear God, if You save this dog

'I will never get high, I will never jack off

'I will do all the things that I should but have not

'I'll be a good boy from now on'



We turned around the corner soon and saw the neighbor's yard

Dad lit up a cigarette and rolled his window down

And grinning like an idiot he stuck his head and body out



And I prayed 'Dear God, if You save this dog

'I will never get high, I will never jack off

'I will be all the things that I should but have not

'I'll be a good boy from now on'



Well he popped in a shell and took aim with the gun

Then a flash and a bang and the dog it was gone. . .

Jumped up and he ran away

Dad had shot right through his chain



Dad said 'Take me to the Dairy Freeze, I want to have a shake'

We sipped them on the benches there and stared out on the lake

And Dad has never said another word about that day



And I hope you're not disappointed, God

'Cause I still get high and I still jack off

And you knew I was lying but you still saved that dog

You're such a good God

Such a good, good God

You're such a good goddamned backwards dog

And I'll be a good boy from now on
