letra de where does my empathy go? - jerry decicca

i was driving on the backroads headed for my home
where it never seems to rain and only barbed wire grows
when i passed a cow with his head stuck through the fence
eating tall grass and weeds, it was a bounty to ingest

another mile or two, my worry took the wheel
spun the car around , her head was still between the steel
and n that august heat, that cow owned this heart of mine
i popped the trunk, put on my gloves, and set her free with my pliers

and where does my empathy go?
when i sit at the dinner table eating meat all alone
oh where does my empathy go?
my stomach and my conscience are strangers never known

eve and i went downtown to hear friends play music in the park
there was a baby chihuahua running around in the dark
when we walked to the parking lot the little guy followed us there
he didn’t have a collar, i guess no one cared

she scooped him into the front seat
he had a cherry eye, mites and fleas
everything about him said love is what he needs
we took him back to bulverde
and our vet the very next day
now we have another family member, peanut is his name
and where does my empathy go?
when i sit at the dinner table eating meat all alone
oh where does my empathy go?
my stomach and my conscience are strangers never known

the woman that loves me ignores this about me
she passes little judgment; she lets me eat as i please
i know i can’t be a saint but in my private moments i ache
what i dislike about myself and the bad habits i can’t break

and where does my empathy go?
when i sit at the dinner table eating meat all alone
oh where does my empathy go?
my stomach and my conscience are strangers never known
