Old Stray Dog

I’ve watched the same old sunset

From a million different towns

I’ve howled at the moon all night

And I’ve slept on the ground

Seems like I’ve been everywhere

And nowhere all the same

Been called a thousand things

But nobody knows my name

Just an old stray dog

Back out on the road again

Ain’t got a prayer

Ain’t got a friend

And its been so long

I’v spent half my life just running

And the other half getting home

I’ve had somebody take me in

And think they’s changing me

But every time the new wore off

I’m back out on the street

And when it comes to free, man

What ya see is what ya get

If I ain’t a four-legged rambling jack

I’ll be a son of a bitch

Just an old stray dog

Back out on the road again

Ain’t got a prayer

Ain’t got a friend

And its been so long

I’v spent half my life just running

And the other half getting home

Maybe someday I just might hang it up

If they ever make a fence that I can’t jump

Just an old stray dog

Back out on the road again

Ain’t got a prayer

Ain’t got a friend

And its been so long

I’v spent half my life just running

And the other half getting home
