====================================== A dreary-eyed dog stands alone Waiting for an old man to get home A dreary-eyed dog waits alone Maybe he'll bring him back a bone The old man he took of to town that day Without a friendly smile or word to say The old man he took off for town that day Tail lights that vanished in the gray He checked into the Miami Motel His promise he remembered all too well He checked into the Miami Motel Feeling he was doomed to burn in Hell They found him down in room 24 Hanging by his boot strings in the door They found him down in room 24 No longer would she haunt him anymore For the blood she drew ran through his veins No more Now a dreary-eyed dog stands alone Waiting for an old man to get home A dreary-eyed dog waits alone But it don't look like the old man's Coming home ======================================
