Old Dog

I'm just an old dog,
laid to rest here in my bed.
Licking my wounds,
master's shot me in the head.
If I could have one more time (3x)
To howl at the moon,
chase bitches in heat,
have the world at my feet,
I would do anything
La La La... La La La...
All night long,
I drink whisky from dish.
I think of yesterdays
and hope, cry and wish.
I wish my master had the heart
not to shoot his old dog,
but I have no teeth left
and I'm pink, just like a hog.
If I could have one more time (3x)
To howl at the moon,
chase bitches in heat,
have the world at my feet,
I would do anything
La La La... La La La...
As I lay me down,
sleep fills my eyes.
I hear my master pull his gun,
then he shoots me twice.
As I fade to black,
I think about my youth,
days when I was strong
and the world was new.
If I could have one more time (3x)
To howl at the moon,
chase bitches in heat,
have the world at my feet,
I would do anything
La La La... La La La...
I'm just an old dog...
