My Old Hound

[Verse] On a dusty, winding gravel road, We lived in a cabin, humble abode. There he was with fur all brown, Always around, my loyal old hound. [Verse 2] Morning coffee and the sun’s first light, He’d wag his tail, a welcome sight. Through fields we'd wander, wild and free, Just my dog and me, that's how it’d be. [Chorus] Oh, my old hound, you’re more than a friend, With a heart so true, a love that won't end. You’ve been my shadow, my guiding star, In this big, small world, you’re my wonder, by far. [Verse 3] Lazy afternoons on the old front porch, He’d rest his head while I’d read and torch. Reflections in his eyes, so deep and wise, In that silent bond, no need for disguise. [Verse 4] Winter nights when the winds would howl, By the firelight, we’d share a growl. Together we’ve faced the stormiest gales, In our intertwined, unbreaking tales. [Chorus] Oh, my old hound, you’re more than a friend, With a heart so true, a love that won't end. You’ve been my shadow, my guiding star, In this big, small world, you’re my wonder, by far.
