Michael Alø - I Kicked the Dog Lyrics

Well, I kicked the dog, and now I'm payin'
Should've known better, but what was I sayin'?
He looked at me with those big sad eyes
Now I'm out here, tryin' to apologize

I kicked the dog, oh what a shame
Now the whole town knows my name
They're whisperin' 'bout what I've done wrong
But I'm pickin' up pieces, and I'm movin' along

Well, I walked down the street with my head held low
Every neighbor there, they just seem to know
The preacher said, "Son, you've lost your way,"
Now I'm prayin' for a brighter day

I kicked the dog, oh what a shame
Now the whole town knows my name
They're whisperin' 'bout what I've done wrong
But I'm pickin' up pieces, and I'm movin' along

Gonna make it right, gotta set it straight
Before it's too late, before I seal my fate
I'll mend that fence, I'll change my ways
And maybe that dog will see better days

I kicked the dog, oh what a shame
Now the whole town knows my name
They're whisperin' 'bout what I've done wrong
But I'm pickin' up pieces, and I'm movin' along

Well, I kicked the dog, but now I see
A better man's what I'm gonna be
With every step and every song
I'm rightin' my wrongs, I'm movin' along
