Lipbone Redding - Dogs of Santiago (Long Version) Lyrics

(In Santiago, In Santiago)
I'm a dog on the streets of Santiago
I once had a home but now I am stray
At times I run alone or with my companeros
Freedom is a struggle, would want it any other way

In Santiago
In Santiago

Mama was a purebred she lived the life
She had fences and family
She was a rich poodle's wife
She fell in love with daddy's one floppy ear
One night she up and hopped that fence
That's how I am here

I was born in trash bin behind the bodega
Just know the rough life since I was a pup
Mama said welcome to your life kid,
Make the most of it
You got nothing to lose
Never give up
Good luck

In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago

I'm dog on the streets of Santiago
Once had a home now I am stray
At times I run alone or with my compañeros
Freedom is a struggle
Don't want it any other way

In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago
In Santiago
