Give It A Name Lyrics

I believe that this song is about putting a name to your fears in order to overcome them. The way that he uses a dog chasing or hunting you down expresses this in a visual way that people can relate to. If you don't put a name to your fears you will exaggerate them in your mind. Very interesting song, as most of Jerry's are. Very emotionally deep man. Love it.
