I left the evergreen combat zone For a taste of the better life for me The star dog left the mother bone For a jewel he'd never find or see You may have hated me, I don't know But I loved the way you played your role You couldn't stop to kick the jive It left your kin with salty eyes Hey Mr. Lovedog, you will always be The one back home that could have had it all Hey Mr. Lovedog, Lord knows you never really knew me God bless your velvet gifted soul Makes no sense at all Now you're the holy roller With the hubcap diamond star halo This is goodbye to Captain Hi-top Hope your Pearl Jam can keep it strong They may have hated me, I don't know But I loved the way you played your role You couldn't stop to kick the jive It left your kin with salty eyes Hey Mr. Lovedog, you will always be The one back home that could have had it all Hey Mr. Lovedog, Lord knows you never really knew me God bless your velvet gifted soul Makes no sense at all Higher and higher and higher we go Where we stops, nobody knows
