Gonna sit right here and sing myself a tune
That I wrote one afternoon
After everyone had gone
And I know that this won't mean a lot to you
You've got better things to do
But for me I'll just go on
Old dog is Iying in the middle of the road
He don't do nothing 'cause he don't want to
And I think I'm gonna like that hound
'Cause the more he sits around
The less I want to do too
Gonna sit right here and watch the world roll by
Till we both just up and die
Watching clouds and eating flies
Don't want to bother no one
Don't want nothing here to change
A dusty road is all we've ever dreamed of
And I think I'm gonna love this life
Maybe someday take a wife
She can join us if she wants to
Ain't nobody gonna tell what to do
If a car comes we just move
And we both move real smooth like
Old dog is moving must be something in the air
Some bitch is coming up the road now
And I think I'm gonna like that hound
'Cause the more he gets around
The more I want to do too
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie Gonna sit right here and sing myself a tune That I wrote one afternoon After everyone had gone And I know that this won't mean a lot to you You've got better things to do But for me I'll just go on Old dog is Iying in the middle of the road He don't do nothing 'cause he don't want to And I think I'm gonna like that hound 'Cause the more he sits around The less I want to do too Gonna sit right here and watch the world roll by Till we both just up and die Watching clouds and eating flies Don't want to bother no one Don't want nothing here to change A dusty road is all we've ever dreamed of And I think I'm gonna love this life Maybe someday take a wife She can join us if she wants to Ain't nobody gonna tell what to do If a car comes we just move And we both move real smooth like Old dog is moving must be something in the air Some bitch is coming up the road now And I think I'm gonna like that hound 'Cause the more he gets around The more I want to do too Explain Request ×
