Wild Old Dog

Lyrics

God is a wild, old dog
 Someone left out on the highway
 I seen him running by me
 He don't belong to no one now
 ♪
 He dropped him out on 93
 Mange was setting in on his hips and on his knees
 Between the highways running north and south
 Pulled on over and we put him out
 Willie said he was old and going blind
 Mama told me how she didn't mind
 When Willie kicked him with his shoe
 He just climbed on in, just like he knew
 God is a wild, old dog
 Someone left out on the highway
 I seen him running by me
 He don't belong to no one now
 ♪
 It's lonely on the highway
 Sometimes a heart can turn to dust
 Get whittled down to nothing
 Broken down and crushed
 In with the bones of
 Wild, old dogs
 Wild, old dogs
 ♪
 He dropped him out on 93
 Tall grass was waving there just like the sea
 And he tore off running like we'd set him free
 Just disappeared right in front of me
 God is a wild, old dog
 Someone left out on the highway
 I seen him running by me
 He don't belong to no one now
 He don't belong to no one now
