• "SLEEPY DOG"
• (Guy Thomas) 1977

• You can see him swayin' outside the door
• The old man's rockin' and talkin' to Eleanor
• She come over to take Rover out for a jog
• The old man loves that sleepy dog
•  
• Well old Rover gets lazy
• In the summer heat
• Now he don't wake up for nothing
• Except to eat
• He's a bloodshot, bloodhound 
• Layin' like a log
• And the old man loves that sleepy dog
• 
  

• Well now, I've been traveling for so long
• Can't sing anything but these sad,sad songs
• I lost my sense of purpose
• In the miles
• The distance wore away my desire
• The distance wore away
• The distance wore away my desire
• For the higher things in life
• Now I'm content payin' no rent
• And livin' off the wife
• I sit and listen to the old man's stories
• About him and his dog
• The old man loves that sleepy dog

•  
• Well now, I've been traveling for so long
• Can't sing anything but these sad,sad,sad songs
• And I lost my sense of direction
• In the miles
• The distance wore away my desire
• The distance wore away
• The distance wore away my desire
• For the higher things in life
• Now I'm content payin' no rent
• And livin' off the wife
• I sit and listen to the old man's stories
• About him and his dog
• The old man loves that sleepy dog
• You know he loves that sleepy dog
• The old man he loves that sleepy dog
