Kick That Old Hound Dog - - lyrics

"Kick That Old Hound Dog"

I rolled into Wayland
in a broken down truck
the tranny was slippin
I was down on my luck

A droopy eared hound dog
by the tavern front door
a white whiskered drunkard
was beginning to snore

Chorus
Kick that old hound dog
and leave the cold beer
I gotta get movin
gotta get outta here

I'll work if I find it
to keep movin on
now the bartender's missin
must have went to the john

The register's open
who's mindin the store
it sure ain't the hound dog
or the drunk from before

chorus
Kick that old hound dog
and leave the cold beer
gotta get movin
gotta get outta here

Sometimes it's easy
opportunity knocks
when the register's full
and there's no sign of cops

So I tore down the sidewalk
in search of a car
I finally found one
with a big golden star

chorus
Kick that old hound dog
and leave the cold beer
gotta get movin
gotta get outta here

gotta get movin
gotta get outta here

gotta get movin
gotta get outta here
