Saw an old dog whose leg was broken
His ball was all chewed up and soakin
Looked in the rearview, he’s droolin
Moving van rounds curve, keep movin
Then I made sure that you were sleeping

Looking forward to the day
When my dues are all paid
But that dog won’t go away

Seems like I’m nearer my salad days
But that damn dog won’t go away

Each time I tie loose ends one opens
Still I am thankful for each moment
Looked in the rearview, he’s droolin
Moving van rounds curve, keep movin
Then I made sure that you were sleeping

Looking forward to the day
When my dues are all paid
But that dog won’t go away

Seems like I’m nearer my salad days
But that damn dog won’t go away
