My Dog Spot

Well I had an old dog he was my best friend
He was no Lassie or a Rin Tin Tin
He never helped out when I was in a scrape
All he ever wanted was to escape

He saw a squirrel sitting in the road one day
He lit out for him, gonna make him pay
His eyes were on his target so he didn't see the truck
It was there and then he ran out of luck

Now my dog is just a spot in the road
Right beside a stain that used to be a toad
He never saved a single life and never learned a trick
He never brought my slippers and wouldn't fetch a stick
He never hung out in our yard, he always ran away
But it looks like he has finally learned to stay

Well, I'll never forget that fateful day
My dog didn't make it but the squirrel got away
And as that squirrel ran up the tree
I swear he turned and winked at me

And as I walked back home again
I knew I'd never forget my friend
He made that really easy too
I gotta strong reminder on the sole of my shoe

Now my dog is just a spot in the road
Right beside a stain that used to be a toad
He never saved a single life and never learned a trick
He never brought my slippers and wouldn't fetch a stick
He never hung out in our yard, he always ran away
But it looks like he has finally learned to stay
