Lyrics

LEAD DOG
Written by Bill Irwin (SOCAN)
Gotta keep running hard, and stay on the track
I gotta keep running hard, stay ahead of the pack
I got the lead position, dragging this sled
Gotta work like a dog, or I’ll be left for dead

I can’t just be good, I’ve got to be the best
I’ve got to be faster, than all the rest
Gotta pull harder, keep a steady strain
‘ Cause if you ain’t the lead dog, you ain’t the lead dog, no if you ain’t the lead dog
The scenery’ll never change

Staying out front…., I’m number one
‘Cause when you’re in the back, you never see the sun
It’s hard to open your eyes, even harder to breathe
When you get out front, you never want to leave

Keep on pulling, keep on pushing, keep on pulling,…. straight ahead

‘Cause if you ain’t the lead dog, you ain’t the lead dog, no if you ain’t the lead dog
The scenery’ll never change,
So if you ain’t the lead dog, you ain’t the lead dog, no if you ain’t the lead dog
The scenery’ll never change, the scenery’ll never change
