Ol' Dog

Well, Lord, it's an everyday battle

Tryin' to get up out the bed

I can't see straight with last night's whiskey

Poundin' in my head

I got a wicked limp that won't quit, Lord

And a stack of bills that need paid

A heartbeat rhythm like a kung fu chicken

I got too much on my plate

Well, I hit my knees

At the same time every day

Lord, please

How many times do I gotta pray?

I've been diggin' the ground like an ol' hound

But all I found is a muddy hole

I hope you pick up the phone before you call me home

Lord, throw your ol' dog a bone

Well, I ain't heard a word from you

And I've been waitin' for way too long

But I can't keep my cool from lookin' at the pool

That you put in my neighbor's yard

I got a wicked grip that won't quit, Lord

From holdin' my end of the deal

So stop droppin' the ball, take my call

Lord, you know the devil will

Well, I hit my knees

At the same time every day

Lord, please

How many times do I gotta pray?

I've been diggin' the ground like an ol' hound

But all I found is a muddy hole

I hope you pick up the phone before you call me home

Lord, throw your ol' dog a bone

Well, I hit my knees

At the same time every day

Lord, please

How many times do I gotta pray?

I've been diggin' the ground like an ol' hound

But all I found is a muddy hole

I hope you pick up the phone before you call me home

Lord, throw your ol' dog a bone

I hope you pick up the phone 'fore you call me home

Throw your ol' dog a bone
