 He don't belong to no one now

 Mange was setting in on his hips and on his knees
                G+G
 Between the highways running north and south
D MajorD            C majorC
 We pulled on over and we put him out

 It's lonely on the highway

 Sometimes a heart can turn to dust
            C majorC
 Get whittled down to nothing
         E minorEm
 Broken down and crushed
       C majorC
 In with the bones of
      D MajorD
 Wild old dogs
      C majorC
 Wild old dogs

 Tall grass was waving there just like the sea

 Just disappeared right in front of me
