"Old Dog" lyrics

"Old Dog"

I'm walking around here going crazy*
Can't get it right in my mind
There's a demon within me pulling at me
I wish I could leave the past behind

I drink whiskey and try to forget it
But that's just makes the pain even more
Maybe if I started out running
I could find what I'm looking for

They must be out there somewhere
Peace of mind, serenity

Somehow I'm just like an old dog
Searching for a porch to lie on
I'm lost and lonely for the answer
To the lies I've told to me for so long
I believe that highways hold solutions
That blacktop road can't be wrong

The bends and curves and unknown courses
See all the signs but never stop
Signals show themselves but I ignore then
Supposed to be some joy but there's not

Somehow I'm just like an old dog
Searching for a porch to lie on
I'm lost and lonely for the answer
To the lies I've told to me for so long
I believe that highways hold solutions
That blacktop road can't be wrong

Confusion leads to aggravation
Meanness is making me blind
What bothers me today keeps me wondering
Damn this bloody state of mind

Misery is around me
I'm tired but I can't sit still
Crawling in my skin my body's aging
I think I hear that dog on the hill

They must be out there somewhere
Peace of mind, serenity

Somehow I'm just like a old dog
Searching for a porch to lie on
Somehow I'm just like an old dog
Searching for a porch to lie on
