Song Description

Story song about an old man and his dog

Lyrics

he has a one eyed dog
and a heart of stone
old wood shack
he lives all alone
he never shine his shoes
never cut his hair
never found his love
says he doesn't care
when the sun goes down
he calls the dog in
rubs his face
locks the door
dinner set up
on the table
dog is sitting
on the floor
feels life kicking him back my friend
feels life kicking him back my friend
all alone
he sits in silence
all alone
he pets the dog
another morning comes
another shallow day
sky is cold
the sun is gray
cant sleep all morning
cant hide from the race
rain keeps pouring
the dog licks his face
the daylight comes
he lets the dog out
rubs his face
walks the floor
cup of coffee
on the table
dog is scratching
on the door
feels life kicking him back my friend
feels life kicking him back my friend
all alone
he stands and stares
all alone
he calls the dog
everybody count
your blessings
every moment
every day
see the old man
thin and fading
once he was
a young man
young man
he would shine
he could jump so high
he would throw the ball so far
the dog laughed so hard
he would shine
nothing stays the same
the colors turned to gray
the sun fell cold
replaced by pouring rain
still
nothing stays the same
afternoon
in his chair
shuts his eyes
to ease the stare
its not sleep he's feeling
its much stronger than that
tired of this life
time to give it back
stands up tall
rubs his belly
sees the old man
in his chair
sun is shinning
on the drive way
dog is waiting
for him there
feels life giving him back my friend
feels life giving him back my friend
with the dog
he laughs in silence
with the dog he fades away
feels life giving him back my friend
feels life giving him back my friend
feels life giving him back my friend
feels life giving him back my friend
