Old Dog (I Miss You)

Verse 1

I sit beside a tree upon this hill

Wind keeps whisperin' low and still

I can hear my old dog callin' my name

He's buried right here underneath this oak

Tennessee dirt is all that remains

Just the whistle of the breeze and the words I spoke

Pre-Chorus

Me and that hound had a lotta years

Through the huntin' and the fishin' and the laughin' and the tears

Chorus

Old dog run through heaven's gate

Chasin' chickens up along the golden lane

Daddy's boots are sittin' by the door

But yours are buried here in Tennessee clay

I miss you boy I miss you more

Every single day

Verse 2

You took off with mama's chicken in your jaws

She wasn't happy no not one bit

You hid beneath the porch with muddy paws

And I swear I still can laugh at it

Run through these hills one more time

I'd give anything to see you shine

Pre-Chorus

Me and that hound had a lotta years

Every memory brings a new round of tears

Chorus

Old dog run through heaven's gate

Chasin' chickens up along the golden lane

Daddy's boots are sittin' by the door

But yours are buried here in Tennessee clay

I miss you boy I miss you more

Every single day

Bridge

The low whistle carries on the breeze

Through the red dirt and the old oak trees

I close my eyes and there you are

Runnin' free beneath the stars

Chorus

Old dog run through heaven's gate

Chasin' chickens up along the golden lane

Daddy's boots are sittin' by the door

But yours are buried here in Tennessee clay

I miss you boy I miss you more

Every single day
