lyrics

A woman told me once that she would like to kiss my lips
After she'd had one to many drinks
A fellow told me once he could manipulate my thoughts
After he saw one too many shrinks
But much to their surprise, I did not oblige
People are sneaky with their eyes
Shifting from left to right
The seat ain't so comfy once you've sat in it too long
And the words ain't so catchy
When you're the one who writes the song

Ain't scared of no barkin' dog
Ain't scared of no broken heart
Ain't scared of nobody, no thing
No, I ain't gonna run
Ain't scared of no barkin' dog
Ain't scared of no broken heart
Ain't scared of no swingin' fist
I promise this
So don't tell me how I live

A parasite once told me while a-sippin' on my blood
That it needed to rest for a while
Although I found it strange I let it scamper to my brain
Where it slept upon the currents of my thoughts
A man was thin and drawn
He told me he once knew a song that made him think of me
But when I asked him what it was
He told me he could not recall the melody

Ain't scared of no barkin' dog
Ain't scared of no broken heart
Ain't scared of nobody, no thing
No, I ain't gonna run
Ain't scared of no barkin' dog
Ain't scared of no broken heart
Ain't scared of no swingin' fist
I promise this
So don't tell me how I live

Everybody thinks they know you, but they don't
That doesn't mean they haven't tried
And it doesn't mean that they won't
How close to your heart can you let one person move
How far past the boundary can one person carry you?

Ain't scared of no barkin' dog
Ain't scared of no broken heart
Ain't scared of nobody, no thing
No, I ain't gonna run
Ain't scared of no oo! ah!
Ain't scared of no ba-ba-doo-ay!
Ain't scared of no swingin' fist
I promise this
So don't tell me how I live
Don't tell me how I live
