Key: 'Em'

Intro:

When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

Calling to the dogs

Tropic treasure
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
We need someone or something new
Something else to get us through, yeah, come on

Calling in the dogs
Calling all the dogs
Calling on the gods

Slay a few animals
At the crossroads
(Too late)
All in the yard
But it's getting harder
(By the crossroads)

You got to meet me
Oh, we're going, we're going great
At the edge of town
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure

E minorEm
Having a good time
Got to come along
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
Outskirts of the city
You and I

E minorEm
We need someone new
Something new
Something else to get us through
Better bring your gun
Better bring your gun
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure

E minorEm
We're going to ride and have some fun
When all else fails
We can whip the horse's eyes
And make them sleep
And cry
