Ray Stevens - Old Dog lyrics

I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark
When I look into those puppy dog eyes
You still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new
It's been you from the start
I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark

I ain't like those men who wash
The grey out of their hair
Wear V-neck shirts and gold chains
To look suave and debonair
Searching for some sweet young thing
To make 'em feel brand-new
I'm happy as a Bluetick hound
Just laying around with you

I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark
And with those big brown puppy dog eyes
You still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new
It's been you from the start
Yeah, I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark

And you ain't like those women who
Go get a nip and tuck
Hoping to disguise the years and
Find a cute young pup
You're still my little Lassie, baby
And I'm still your old Blue
'Cause my tail ain't stopped waggin' since
I first laid eyes on you

I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark
When I look into those puppy dog eyes
You still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new
It's been you from the start
I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark

Honey, I love being your best
Friend and that's a fact
And I know you still like running
With the leader of the pack

I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark
And with those big brown puppy dog eyes
You still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new
It's been you from the start
Yeah, I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark

Oh, I may be an old dog, honey
But you still make me bark
