you don't need heartache
to know that heart breaks
don't need to burn out
to fade away
don't need a last straw
to make you angry
don't need no stranger
to dig your grave
don't need excuses
to cry your eyes out
when you're trying not to die
you don't need clouds to cloud your judgment
you don't need drugs to get you high
don't need companions
to feel abandoned
you don't need sorrow
to feel the pain
you don't need tonsils
to hoop and hollar
don't need no marbles
to go insane
don't need a reason
to check out early
you earned your keep
you did your time
you don't need prayers
when you're hopeless
you don't need drugs to get you high
you don't need seasons
to know it's over
You don’t need closure
To resign
Don’t need a metal
When you’re a loser
You don’t need drugs to get you high

Got 8 years or more
If we're lucky
10 to 12 if there's some kind of fluke
and when that moment comes
I won't be ready
The thought of it just makes me cry and puke
You're the best reason to wake up
That I ever knew
And when my dog dies
I die too
I don't get along with anybody
Homo sapiens have outgrown their use
Loyalty's a trait most folks can't fathom
Love's a thing that people pick and choose
But I ain't got a choice
When it comes to loving you
And when my dog dies
I die too
Why even bother coming home
Without my buddy
Waiting there for me
Waiting there for me
Why even bother going on
Without my buddy
Walking by my side
And hogging the bed in the dead of the night
Closest thing I'll have
To having children
But so much better than
Having a kid
There's plenty other dogs who need a rescue
But when you're gone I'm goin' off the deep end
So Jesus, if ya hear me,
Won't you spare my little dude
Cause when my dog dies, I die too

Roy Ivy Butte, montana
Drinking songs and sing-alongs: that's Roy Ivy's specialty .If you haven't seen him dancing and sloshing about Butte,
America, you may have met him in his past lives as a Chicago troubadour. Or maybe you met him in Dallas, where he ran The Tah-Dahs off a cliff, and stupidly quit The Polyphonic Spree before they toured with Bowie.
New songs coming by the end of 2023.
