Runaway Dog

Motion side (?)
What can you expect of someone as fortunate as I
Teach a man to fish and he feeds his kids
You say it's pretty straight forward, yeah it really is

I should rely
A little less on success, a little more on divisible time
My appetite is not what it used to be
Moving on, we're counting sheep
I opened the door, the dog up and ran away
Gone for weeks, I've been doing OK

I won't, but I think they told me so
I will never pave the road that I want to
