I'm going away again this weekend so I just needed to get this done to avoid another Sunday night panic session! I don't know how to get drum patterns to work for me so it's just gtr & vox. Bonus: I forgot to remove my retainer while I sang - exxtra lispy! :)
lyrics
He was born in the summer of 1963
To an angry man and a woman who was never gonna be complete
Though world war three was always raging in the kitchen
He learned to read, to write his name and to take the blame
On Xmas day when he was five he got a puppy
They named him Buddy ‘cause it was his only friend
While his parents argued he’d be hiding in the bedroom
With his dog in a secret lair underneath the bed
He always dreamed he’d be a rebel with a cause
Solving crimes and bringing justice to the world
But someone’s got to feed the dog and do the chores
When you’re needed it’s so hard to break away
Gotta get away
When his dad grew ill he left a new job in the city
And he moved back to the house he lived in as a boy
Poor old Buddy was now resting under tulips in the yard
By the dead old stump of a maple tree
He always dreamed he’d be a rebel with a cause
Solving crimes and bringing justice to the world
But someone’s got to fix the house and do the chores
When you’re needed it’s so hard to break away
You never get away
