Wild Old Dog Lyrics

by Patty Griffin

(Chorus)
God is a wild old dog
Someone left out on the highway,
I've seen him running by on me,
He don't belong to no one else.

(Verse)
We dropped him on 93
He was sitting in on his hips and on his knees
Between the highways running North and South
Roll on over we'll put him out.

Well, he said he was out and going blind
My momma told me how she didn't mind.
When Willy kicked him with his shoe
He just climbed on in, just like he knew.

(Chorus)
God is a wild old dog
Someone left out on the highway,
I've seen him running by on me,
He don't belong to no one else.

(Bridge)
Is lonely on the highway,
Sometimes a hurr can turn to dust,
Can widdle down to nothing,
Broken and then crushed
Beneath the clums of wild old dogs, wild old dogs.

(Verse)
We dropped him on 93
Tall grass was waiting there just like the sea
He tore out front like we set him free
Just disappear right in front of me.

(Chorus)
God is a wild old dog
Someone left out on the highway,
I've seen him running by on me,
He don't belong to no one else.
