about

It's a rare thing for me to cover someone else's song these days but Tommy Bolin's 'Wild Dogs' has been with me and featured in my sets over the years since I first heard it on his solo album way back in the seventies

The lyrics resonate with me, and it is one of those songs that soundtracks my life in a very personal way

Here, E D Brayshaw and I have adapted it for our more acoustic 'live' shows but keeping the rock out energy of the coda which can jam out for a while when we play it 'live'

Hear 'em howl!

lyrics

MY BAGGAGE HANDCUFFED TO MY WRIST
I DRAG IT EVERYWHERE I GO
SOMETIMES I FIGHT YOU WITH MY FIST
BUT IF I KNEW WHICH WAY WAS HOME
THAT’S WHERE I’D GO
IF I KNEW WHICH WAY WAS HOME

BEFORE THE KHARMA SET ME FREE
I’M SICK OF MY OWN COMPANY
SOMETIMES I MISS THE BOAT
MOST TIMES I MISS MY HOME
THAT’S WHERE I’D GO
IF I KNEW WHICH WAY WAS HOME

RUN DOWN GHOST TRAILS
NO CHANCE OF LOVE
NO SIGN OF LIFE
JUST THOSE WILD DOGS HOWLING IN THE NIGHT

BEFORE THE KHARMA CUT ME LOOSE
WOULD DRINK MY WHISKY WITH MY WATER
SOMETIMES I GET THE BLUES
BUT I KNOW I SHOULDN’T OUGHT TO
THAT’S WHERE I’D GO
IF I KNEW WHICH WAY WAS HOME

RUN DOWN GHOST TRAILS
NO CHANCE OF LOVE
NO SIGN OF LIFE
JUST THOSE WILD DOGS HOWLING IN THE NIGHT

WILD DOGS HOWLING IN THE NIGHT…

HERE THEM HOWL…
