Rufus - The Wanderer

The call came over the radio
"Is there anywhere for me to go?"
I ran away, no longer wanted
This is not what I intended

I've been in prison 7 days long
Where has my freedom gone?
I just wanted to have some fun
But now I am getting none

Several have enquired, and then departed
Leaving me alone and broken hearted
One more visitor arrived that day
And I was suddenly free to play

He took me to a new home
Where I was no longer sad or alone
I behaved the very best I could
But longed to run free in the nearby wood

I trained very well, all but one
Because I really did like to run
But this chap was rather aloof
Free running area's were all "escape proof"

I was happy, but left up to 4 hours alone
Even though I was left with a juicy bone
I needed something else in my life
Then they brought me a suitable wife

We lived as happy as can be
Until illness took her away from me
I really do miss her so
Perhaps it's time for me to go?

I held on tight for other's sake
But this pain I could not shake
I kissed all goodbye
And joined my wife up in the sky
