Old dog

I took it all, I put it back
And that was all, that was that
But I couldn’t sleep, I knew it then
I had to let it go and when
I got the chance I let her fly
I took all of your good advice
Let her go but she came back
Bet you never thought of that…
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
And was it then as the skylarks fell
Was it when, I couldn’t tell
I heard the tock of the ticking clock
that broke the spell as the hammer fell…
I hit the road and got knocked down
Full of stops like a telegram
Sent a letter saying got it wrong
I’m not myself, I’m coming home
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
