That Old Dog - 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 it' 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
