SLEEPY DOG
(G.Thomas)

You can see him swayin' outside the door
The old man's rockin' and talkin' to Eleanor
She come over to take Rover out for a jog
The old man loves that sleepy dog

Well old Rover gets lazy
In the summer heat
Now he don't wake up for nothing
Except to eat
He's a bloodshot, bloodhound
Layin' like a log
And the old man loves that sleepy dog

Well now, I've been traveling for so long
Can't sing anything but these sad,sad songs
I lost my sense of purpose
In the miles
The distance wore away my desire
The distance wore away
The distance wore away my desire

For the higher things in life
Now I'm content payin' no rent
And livin' off the wife
I sit and listen to the old man's stories
About him and his dog
The old man loves that sleepy dog

Well now, I've been traveling for so long
Can't sing anything but these sad,sad,sad songs
And I lost my sense of direction
In the miles
The distance wore away my desire
The distance wore away
The distance wore away my desire
For the higher things in life
Now I'm content payin' no rent
And livin' off the wife
I sit and listen to the old man's stories
About him and his dog
The old man loves that sleepy dog
You know he loves that sleepy dog
The old man he loves that sleepy dog
