Story behind the song
The Black Dog was Winston Churchill's phrase for his bouts of depression. A lot of my friends wrestle with this as do I. Mine isn't nearly as bad as a lot of folks. This is part of my effort to fight back.
Lyrics
There's a black dog in my mind Darkens my days, wastin' my time Tearin' me up, 'causing me pain This damn black dog in my brain Black dog hunts me every day it seems Black dog haunts me in my dreams Black dog snarls and black dog bites Black dog stay outta my sight Chorus: I'm living on borrowed time Can't keep the black dog outta my mind Some day I'm gonna hunt the black dog down Shoot him in the head put him underground Black dog seems to know my scent Black dog's tracked me every place I ever went Black dog howls in the middle of the night Black dog wakes me in a sweat soaked fright Black dog loves howlin' at the moon Black dog you've come back too soon Black dog get away from my door Black dog never welcome no more Chorus Black dog, black dog, black dog
