He used to get up when I walked by,
but now he just lifts up his ears.
and he thumps his tail on the floor
and he goes to sleep again,
I tried to teach him all them tricks,
cause he never acted very bright,
but his eyes have got this glow,
and I think he actually knows some things
and he never barks at strangers
but then he never barks at cars
and he howls at the coyotes
while they're howling at the stars
And he scratches at the back door
And he scratches at the other side
just to get back out again
I'm gonna have to drive him into town,
cause he can barely hear no more,
but until then I'll look at him, and
And I'll say, he's a good dog.
