Lyrics
I walk my dog, so I can get stoned
I engage in the activity of walking my dog to achieve a state of being stoned.
The Wife and kids, I leave at home
I leave my wife and kids at home while I go for a walk with my dog.
You know he and I, We have an agreement
There is an understanding or arrangement between me and my dog.
He won't judge, and I will believe it
My dog doesn't judge me, and I choose to believe in this understanding.
I tell my companion about my day
I share details about my day with my dog.
He doesn't have that much to say
My dog is not very talkative in response.
You know he and I, We have an agreement
There is a repeated mention of an agreement with the dog.
He won't judge, and I will believe it
Reiteration of the understanding: my dog won't judge, and I will believe in that.
Shuttin them out because it was easy
I deliberately shut people out because it was an easy thing to do.
And here we are, walkin the streets
The narrator is now on the streets with the dog.
You know life's never how you imagined
Life doesn't unfold as imagined; it's different.
If you simplify you'll fall on the beat
Suggests that simplifying things can lead to a rhythmic or predictable outcome.
I ramble on, sometimes for hours
The narrator talks aimlessly, sometimes for extended periods.
But he listens, all the same
The dog listens attentively, demonstrating the agreement in action.
You know he and I, We have an agreement
Repetition of the agreement: the dog won't judge, and the narrator will believe in it.
He won't judge, and I will believe it
Reiteration of the understanding between the narrator and the dog.
Shuttin them out because it was easy
Reaffirmation of shutting people out as an easy choice.
And here we are, walkin the streets
The narrator and the dog continue walking the streets.
You know life's never how you imagined
Life is not as expected, reinforcing the idea of unpredictability.
If you simplify you'll fall on the beat
Suggests that simplifying life can lead to a rhythmic or predictable outcome.
