You called my name
To go for a ride
And so I sat
Right by your side
And after a while
You stopped the car
I didn’t know where
We must have gone far
You let me out
But you didn’t stay
You left me alone
Now I was a stray
Without any food
How could I survive
Didn’t you care
When taking this drive
For years I had been
Your loyal friend
Plus your home
I’d always defend
It might have been better
To go to the pound
With other dogs
That had been found
You left me alone
Near a trailer park
Where I wandered
Alone in the dark
No comfy place
For me to lie
I’m here alone
And wondering why
A friendly dog
I was your pet
A healthy dog
Avoiding the vet
The trailer folks
Were very kind
Their table scraps
I didn’t mind
One day in the rain
And chilly weather
Another stray came
And we stayed together
Your loveable dog
But you were unkind
Abandoning me
Were you out of your mind
