Coyote from Desert Dogs by Mike Vitale
The story of my 2021 tour across the United States. Some liberties were taken. This is a true story—mostly.

Lyrics
Coyote
words and music by Michael Patrick Vitale
Endlessly strolling
An old desert dog
Amongst sage brush
and bunch grass
and cactus and fog
Slender and gangly
My bush tail sags
As I trot through the desert
The cliff face and crags
Coyote
I'm homely
Forsaken
And oh so lonely
Coyote
I roam the open prairie
I'm scrawny to rib
coarse hair to aught
Looking over my shoulder
To survey the lot
Liften lip smile
Pearly whites unsheathed
But the rest of my face
Apologizes for teeth
Endlessly strolling
An old desert dog
Amongst sage brush
and bunch grass
and cactus and fog
Slender and gangly
My bush tail sags
As I trot through the desert
The cliff face and crags
Coyote
I'm homely
Forsaken
And oh so lonely
Coyote
I roam the open prairie
I'm scrawny to rib
coarse hair to aught
Looking over my shoulder
To survey the lot
Liften lip smile
Pearly whites unsheathed
But the rest of my face
Apologizes for teeth
Endlessly strolling
An old desert dog
Amongst sage brush
and bunch grass
and cactus and fog
Slender and gangly
My bush tail sags
As I trot through the desert
The cliff face and crags
Coyote
I'm homely
Forsaken
And oh so lonely
Coyote
I roam the open prairie
I'm scrawny to rib
coarse hair to aught
Looking over my shoulder
To survey the lot
Liften lip smile
Pearly whites unsheathed
But the rest of my face
Apologizes for teeth
