Wild Old Dog Lyrics - American Kid - Patty Griffin

God is a wild, old dog 

Someone left out on the highway 

I seen him running by me 

He don't belong to no one now 

He dropped him out on Ninety-Three 

Mange was setting in on his hips and on his knees 

Between the highways running north and south 

Pulled on over and we put him out 

Willie said he was old and going blind 

Mama told me how she didn't mind 

When Willie kicked him with his shoe 

He just climbed on in, just like he knew

God is a wild, old dog 

Someone left out on the highway 

I seen him running by me 

He don't belong to no one now 

It's lonely on the highway 

Sometimes a heart can turn to dust 

Get whittled down to nothing 

Broken down and crushed 

In with the bones of 

Wild, old dogs 

Wild, old dogs 

He dropped him out on Ninety-Three 

Tall grass was waving there just like the sea 

And he tore off running like we'd set him free 

Just disappeared right in front of me 

God is a wild, old dog 

Someone left out on the highway 

I seen him running by me 

He don't belong to no one now 

He don't belong to no one now
