it was a military holiday
and kids were everywhere

and tried to disappear
tried to speak but couldn't

Verse: in this verse (and the last as well), the first repeat of the
       chord progression is omitted, and it ends on the C7 leading
       into the chorus as before.

we turned around the corner soon
and saw the neighbor's yard
did lit up a cigarette
and rolled his window down
and grinning like an idiot
he stuck his head and body out

Chorus:

and i prayed "dear god,
if you save this dog
i will never get high
i will never jack off
i will be all the things that i should but have not
