Day 5 The Story "Dog Dreams"

In 1992, I spent New Years Eve at First Night Boston. I'd gone before, but this one was the most memorable of them. There were four of us that night. The cast of characters:

Me
My soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend, Paul
Paul's ex-girlfriend he still wasn't over, Deb
My "we're just friends" future husband

I had been attending folk concerts regularly, and a duo called The Story was playing, so we headed over to see them. I remember sitting there listening to them play and knowing I had to own their CD. My husband also remembers Deb, who was engaged, making obvious attempts to get him into bed. Let's remember, her fiancé wasn't there at the time.

The Story was there when we changed our story. Less than a month later, I realized I loved my husband, and broke up with Paul shortly after. So, three months later, the cast of characters became:

Me
My soulmate
The Story

Three states, two children, and twenty-plus years later, our story goes on.

Lyrics

Me and Rex took the car, ha, ha, stay home, stay
We're gonna run over all the neighborhood cats
'Cause they tease us from the other side of the fence
We're gonna go in the swamp and you can't hose us off

Dog dreams, dog dreams
Please don't wake us up

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No fetch game, no, no, no

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No sit, lie down, roll over, shame

Me and Rex took the car, ha, ha, stay home, stay
We're gonna go through everyone's garbage
Have the dinners we deserve
We're gonna find some great smelling bitches
And see if they meant what they said from the end of the leash

Dog dreams, dog dreams
Please don't hose us off

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No fetch game, no, no, no

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No sit, lie down, roll over, shame

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No fetch game, no, no, no

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No sit, lie down, roll over, shame

Bad dog, bad dog
Bad dog, bad dog
Bad dog, bad dog
