Another Dog

Down at the end of the driveway you hear old Ranger bark
Barking at that gang of cars going riding in the dark
Ranger oh Ranger how far can you go before old Gary tracks you down and brings
you back once more?
Ranger’s in the chickens or chasing the neighbor cat
Or rolling in the field mud as happy as he can get
Ranger oh Ranger will you ever get away? Old Gary’ll track you down and bring
you back again
Gary tracks him with his pickup and a fancy cell phone
To find old Ranger on another farm where he sure ain’t alone
Ranger oh Ranger how far can you go before old Gary tracks you down and brings
you back once more?
He’s running because no one at home want’s to be part of his pack
Gary only owns him, he’s never had Ranger’s back
Ranger oh Ranger will you ever get away? Old Gary’ll track you down and bring
you back again
He’ll run until he’s too old, or they make a stronger fence
Or he’ll die a free dog on a county road, in a fatal accident
Ranger oh Ranger how far can you go before old Gary tracks you down and brings
you back once more?
And where will your home be, if you ever escape his grasp?
Trampin' through this wide old world, wherever your free heart’s at
