New Song and Video "Listen to the Girl" a lesson for younger people. The best way to get to know someone is FACE to FACE. The Human Way.
The Stray Dawgs are from Plantation, Florida. Lew Dawg Cloninger is the founding member and plays guitars and sings (many people refer to it as hollering). Founding member Steve Sallaz plays bass, sings and also does most of the mixing and mastering of our recordings. He also plays a variety of percussion instruments. We have many other musician friends that help us out at live shows as well as recording. Huge thanks go out to Susan Ivory Blue who has played piano and organ on many of our recordings and gigs. Also special thanks to Lew Knapper for his help with Texas blues harp on many of our songs.

Story behind the song
About the catastrophe that was the "War in Iraq" where the U.S. spent Trillions (still not paid for), lost thousands of lives and made ZERO progress in our relationships around the world, all led by totally incompetent leaders who are now living comfortably while their successors try to clean up their mess.
Lyrics
V1 You made the wounded. You made the widows. You made the orphans too. You lined the pockets of all your friends but you never paid your dues. Born to a life of privilege; spent all your years at play. The one true God might not be yours but you will meet him one fine day. Chorus:1 Late at night in the darkness, can you hear your daddy cry? After all these years and all the tears is your ego satisfied? V2 Just cause a man don't think like you; don't make him less a man and Jesus wouldn't take his home because there's oil beneath the sand. You spent the sons. You spent the daughters. You spent our fortunes too. A shining reputation's gone and it's all because of you. Chorus: 2 Late at night in the darkness, can you hear the mothers cry? After all these years and all the tears is you ego satisfied? Bridge: The World deserves an answer for what has been done. I lie is like a cancer; a game that can't be won. You're gonna have to stand up on judgement day. You think you're pretty high now. You're gonna fall a long, long way. V3 It all went wrong. You walked away. You had no future plans. You left it to the legions to clean your mess up from the sand. As time goes by, the good still die. How does that work for you? There's no excuse for all this pain just because you had no clue. Chorus 3: Late at night in the darkness can you hear your daddy cry? After all these years and all the tears is your ego satisfied? Late at night in the darkness can you hear the mothers cry? After all these years and all the tears is your ego satisfied? Late at night when you turn out the light, can you hear the children scream? I hope you live a long, long time and nightmares are your dreams!
