[Am]
[D]
[Am]
This is a song [Em] that we [Am] recorded for our Southern Accents album.
It's got a little [E] story that goes [Am] along with it.
This is about a young boy who used to wear a dog collar.
He might still be wearing that dog collar, I haven't seen him in a while.
But I used to see him all the time.
And his name, what's his name?
That's right, his name was Spike.
We used to see Spike when we lived down in Gainesville, Florida years ago.
[D] We used to see him out [Am] walking in the middle of the summer wearing that dog collar.
Had his leather jacket on.
One day we saw him headed right for this bar in town.
I'd never been in that bar.
It was called the Cypress Lounge.
They always told us never to go in the Cypress Lounge.
Mike was there.
It was Mike Campbell over here playing the guitar.
We were sitting there doing nothing.
And we saw Spike walking right through the Cypress Lounge.
I said, Mike, this is going to be good.
So I followed him in.
I walked in out of the sunlight.
It was real dark in that bar.
I couldn't see nothing.
I could see the glow of a jukebox in the back.
And I could hear this voice say, look, we got another [D] one.
Just like the other [Am] ones.
Another bad ass.
[G] Another troublemaker.
I'm scared ain't you boys, [Em] I'm scared.
Wonder if he's going to show us [F] what that is.
Boy, he got a man with a dog collar [G] on.
Think we ought to throw Spike a [A] bone.
[Am]
[A] Spike would sing.
Doo doo re.
Doo doo re.
Doo doo re.
Doo doo re.
[Am] Well, here's another [Em] misfit.
[A] Another Jimmy Dean.
I bet he's got a [Em] motorbike.
What [G] do y'all think?
Bet if we be good, we'll get [Am] a ride on it.
If he ain't too mad about [F] the future.
Maybe we ought [C] to help him [G] see.
The future ain't what it used to [Am] be.
[G] [A]
[G] [Am] [D] Nothing.

[G] Spike, [Am]
[G] you're scaring my wife.
[Am]
[G] Please, Spike, tell me about [Am] life.
Well, can you tell me about life, Spike?
[Am] Boy, I want to know.
I need me a dog collar too, boy.
It might feel good.
I might see the world a whole new way.
I might be a brand new man.
I might be one bad motherfucker.
I might say it.
I might say it.
I might say it.
I might say it.
I might say it.
Might say it.
Might say it. Fuck it.
[A]
[Am]
Hey,
[G] Spike, what is [Am] it?
[G] Sir, Spike, you're scaring [A] my wife.
[G] Sir, Spike, tell us [Am] about life.
Well, it got [Em] real quiet in that bar.
[Am] And I remember [G] seeing Spike [Am] slide down easy off of that bar stool.
Walk straight to the door and threw it open.
[Em] Sun came in [Am] like a searchlight.
And Spike walked straight to the side [Em] of Interstate [A] 75.
[Am] And he stuck out his thumb and [A]
said,
Do do re, do do re, do do la la, do do re.
