Took a walk round my neighborhood
Wasn't doing nothing just feeling good
There's an old grey dog who sits all alone
His owners don't notice him even when they're home
He used to look real cute, I'll bet
But his tail's all matted now and his fur is a mess

(Chorus)
Just an old grey dog nobody sees
Can't run too fast, not so eager to please
Just lays around like a bump on a log
But I love that old grey dog, love that old grey dog

When they get home from work each day
He trots up to meet them but they just turn away
And walk in the house while he waits behind
Wagging his tail like he don't mind
Guess they don't know what a true friend is worth
And they never wonder if it hurts

(Repeat Chorus)

Maybe it's because one day
All us humans will be old and grey
Then we'll understand how you need a gentle hand
To reach out and say "It's OK"

Like the old grey dog nobody sees
Time has brought him down to his knees
But he don't give in and he don't give up
And I love that old grey dog.. love that old grey dog
