Story behind the song
This is a song I wrote w my old dog, Rocky, several years ago. He was the only dog that ever really jammed w me musically. 90 pound collie, big voice. He'd come and bug me to play, throw himself down and woof along quietly [in rhythm] and the lift up his head and take a solo. Quite amazing. The closing chord one was of his very favorites. The 'Rocky chord'. He was a fish loving dog, hence the verse about tuna. Hope you like it!
Lyrics
I'm a lonesome dog when you go away I'm a lonesome dog when you go away Won't you come back baby, we'll play all day I got my squeaky toy and my frisbee too I got my squeaky toy and my frisbee too Just like my brush baby, they ain't no good without you You took two trips for tuna, I didn't get a ride You took two trips for tuna, I didn't get a ride But I love my tuna baby, want you by my side I got my head out the window, got my nose in the air I got my head out the window, got my nose in the air I don't know where we're goin baby, you know I don't care.

haha! Great tune! ya know i'm a sucker for a blues but this is way better than most. man i love how you can play this stuff...touches of ragtime in there and just a fine feel for the tune overall. Rocky musta been a cool dog. Good vox here geo and a real earthy heartfelt bluestune. Loved it!
