That Old Dog Lyrics - Singles - King Missile

I waited three and a half years for a train to Springfield, Ohio 

I gave up and I began to walk, but I was so hungry 

And its a damn good thing I was wearing shoes 

I decided the cool thing to do would be to order some Hallah Bread and Turtle Soup 

But I ordered a tuna salad sandwich 

And some french fries 

I mean, What the hell's the difference anyway 

Look, the thing is, 

I'm half way to Springfield, 

Like I'm in Maryland someplace, 

And the money runs out 

I get some freelance welding work in Silver Spring and then- 

And this was a big kick for me- 

I put on my hat and I said "Sorry, Sue Ellen, but I got to be moving on." 

As it turned out, I never did get to Springfield, Ohio. 

Oh, but sometimes, 

Sometimes when the moon is full 

I can hear that old dog howling 

Howling, like he was right outside my own window.
