Ol’ Dog

[Verse 1]
Well, Lord, it's an everyday battle
Tryin' to get up out the bed
I can't see straight with last night's whiskey
Poundin' in my head
I got a wicked limp that won't quit, Lord
And a stack of bills that need paid
A heartbeat rhythm like a kung fu chicken
I got too much on my plate

[Chorus]
Well, I hit my knees
At the same time every day
Lord, please
How many times do I gotta pray?
I've been diggin' the ground like an ol' hound
But all I found is a muddy hole
I hope you pick up the phone before you call me home
Lord, throw your ol' dog a bone

[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't heard a word from you
And I've been waitin' for way too long
But I can't keep my cool from lookin' at the pool
That you put in my neighbor's yard
I got a wicked grip that won't quit, Lord
From holdin' my end of the deal
So stop droppin' the ball, take my call
Lord, you know the devil will

[Chorus]
Well, I hit my knees
At the same time every day
Lord, please
How many times do I gotta pray?
I've been diggin' the ground like an ol' hound
But all I found is a muddy hole
I hope you pick up the phone before you call me home
Lord, throw your ol' dog a bone

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Well, I hit my knees
At the same time every day
Lord, please
How many times do I gotta pray?
I've been diggin' the ground like an ol' hound
But all I found is a muddy hole
I hope you pick up the phone before you call me home
Lord, throw your ol' dog a bone

[Outro]
I hope you pick up the phone 'fore you call me home
Throw your ol' dog a bone
