Three Legged Dog

Every step is labored

Every sprint's a jog

Still I say that fortune favors

That three-legged dog

Leanin' on one forepaw

With two firm feet behind

Got himself a sense of balance

That most folk never find

Had to fall a few times

When it first was gone

He got up and he got up

And now he's walkin' on

He ain't fast, but he ain't frail

He don't waste his days

Chasin' his tail

He's walkin' on

Barkin' at the weather

And hoppin' up to beg

Doesn't spend a single moment

Askin' where they put my leg

All the field critters

That he loves to chase

They outrun him, but he don't mind

'Cause he ain't in a race

He ain't fast, but he ain't frail

He don't waste his days

Chasin' his tail

He's walkin' on

We live beyond our losses

We count more than our faults

You've got three when they've got four

You've got less when they've got more

You've got three when they've got four

Everything's a waltz
