THAT OLD DOG HAD SOULJack Tempchin, Robert SaveryThat dog had no pedigree His coat was black and white He'd roam the streets of town all day And stay out late at night He'd go out howling at the moon And come home walking slow He took it as he found it 'Cause that old dog had soul That old dog had soul That old dog had soul He'd find his way to trouble Just following his nose Always seemed to make a friend Wherever he would go And in this town we all agree That that old dog had soul That dog knew he was born free He'd be nobody's slave But if you'd treat him with respect You'd get back what you gave He'd stop and sit with you all day If you were feeling low You knew he knew a thing or two 'Cause that old dog had soul That old dog had soul That old dog had soul He'd find his way to trouble Just following his nose Always seemed to make a friend Wherever he would go And in this town we all agree That that old dog had soul I guess that dog really was A lot like you and me He lived his life and left not much Behind for history Now no one really knows what gives Life meaning in the end But one thing I can say for sure He was this man's best friend That old dog had soul That old dog had soul He'd find his way to trouble Just following his nose Everyone will miss him now That's one thing I know And in this town we all agree That that old dog had soul |
