That Old Dog

I waited two and a half years for a train to Springfield, Ohio
 I gave up and I began to walk, but I was so hungry
 And its a damn good thing I was wearing shoes
 I decided the cool thing to do would be to order some Challah Bread
 And Turtle Soup
 But I ordered a tuna salad sandwich
 And some french fries
 I mean,
 What the hell's the difference anyway
 Look, the thing is,
 I'm half way to Springfield,
 Like I'm in
 Maryland someplace,
 And the money runs out
 I get some freelance welding work in Silver Spring and then-
 And this was a big kick for me-
 I put on my hat and I said "Sorry, Sue Ellen, but I got to be moving on."
 As it turned out, I never did get to Springfield, Ohio.
 Oh, but sometimes,
 Sometimes when the moon is full
 I can hear that old dog howling
 Howling, like he was right outside my own window.
