Your daughter's gift still sits on the counter
You're not sure what it's for
Coffee cup goes in the cupboard
Your sharpest knife in the drawer
Every step you take now smarts in your knees
You're not liable to fall
Your long hair says you've made some promises
And that you tried to keep them all
Sit beside the fire and tell me all your stories
'Tho I've heard them all before
Show me how to live so that when I die
I'll know what this life is for
In all the places you still frequent
Everyone remembers your name
The fields and roads around here are different
Somehow you've remained the same
Sometimes you feel your words are dated
People still listen to what they are
Know that we can now go so much farther
For the simple fact you took us so far
Sit beside the fire and tell me all your stories
'Tho I've heard them all before
Show me how to live so that when I die
I'll know who my life is for
Old Dog
Old Dog
I know my hair covers my ears now
I can't hear the crickets anymore
Every sense I have is gettin' faded
I got sense to know who my life is for
Sit beside the fire and tell me all your stories
'Tho I've heard them all before
Show me how to live so that when I die
I'll know who my life is for
Old Dog
Old Dog
