That Old Dog Lyrics

That Old Dog lyrics

I waited three 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 Hallah 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.
