Exchange Offer

I screamed, and screamed, and screamed.

I swore, I cried, and I tried

I want you back to rest on my back

And love like we swore we would

But when you went under that bumper

And I saw just your jumper

I knew you were gone.

I knew we were gone.

But then came Jimmy,

Someone, they said, to love,

To heal the scars you left me with.

But one dog for another —

Love doesn’t work that way.
