Three Legged Dog

Three Legged Dog

Terry Scott Taylor

He's got a good bark and bite ain't soft.
Yeah, he's still got heart and a line you don't cross.
He's a cranky old fart who can show you who's boss.
He's got a few miles left, knock on wood
He's a three legged dog but he's still pretty good

He can't see that well, he's got the mage and a tick
and waggin' his tail is his one good trick
His breath is kinda stale when he gives you a lick,
he's got a few miles left, knock on wood
He's a three legged dog, but he's still pretty good

Three legged dog (loves to howl at the midnight train)
Three legged dog (roll in the mud when we've had a good rain)
Three legged dog (as long as he's movin' and he ain't in pain)
I'm gonna hang on to my three legged dog

I see him when he's sleepin' twitch his three good legs.
I can tell he's dreamin' 'bout his huntin' days.
For the time bein' guess he's doin' okay.
He's got a few miles left, knock on wood
He's a three legged dog, and he's still pretty good

Three legged dog ("three legs" is my hound dog's name)
Three legged dog (when I bought him, that's how he came)
Three legged dog (as long as he's movin' and he ain't in pain)
I'm gonna hang on to my three legged dog
