I've watched the same old sunset
On a million different towns
I've howled at the Moon all night
And I've slept on the ground
Seems like I've been everywhere
And nowhere are all the same
I've been called a thousand things
But nobody knows my name

I'm just an ol' stray dog
Out here on the road again
I ain't got a prayer
I ain't got a friend
And it's been so long
I spend half my life just runnin'
And the other half gettin' home

I've had somebody take me in
More than a time or three
But every time the new wears off
I'm back out on the street
And when it comes to free
Man, what you see is what you get
If I ain't a four-leg rammin' jackal
I'll be a son of a bitch

I'm just an ol' stray dog
Out here on the road again
I ain't got a prayer
I ain't got a friend
And it's been so long
I spend half my life just runnin'
And the other half gettin' home

And maybe someday I might just hang it up
They ever build a fence so high that I can't jump

I'm just an old stray dog
Out here on the road again
I ain't got a prayer
I ain't got a friend
And it's been so long
I spend half my life just runnin'
And the other half gettin' home

Gettin' home
I've watched the same old sunset
On a million different towns
I've howled at the Moon all night
And I've slept on the ground
