old man dog (rewrite two)

old man dog
he's my best friend
we'll stick together
till the end
when I am down
he lifts me up
he just sits close
and that's enough
you don't have to live
like a bump on a log
when you've got an old man dog

old man dog
licks my hand
he always knows
and understands
he stands by me
like a good dog should
he's the best dog in
the neighborhood
you're always in
a dialogue
when you've got an old man dog

old man dog
best dog I know
still got a little
get-up-and-go
I may be old
but I still do
and we still got trouble
to get into
you always feel
like you belong
when you've got an old man dog
step into the sun
and out of the fog
get yourself an old man dog
