Baz says: Statistics never lie (even the one stating that 67% of statistics are made up) and owning a dog actually lowers your blood pressure. It’s true.
This song I reckon was written in under 10 minutes. I guess maybe it shows. It’s a really silly song and was never meant to grow up into a ‘real’ song, but now, somehow, it has found it’s way onto “Next Time”.
Even the vocal was just meant to be a guide track for Slim to follow, and as such was put down with a healthy degree of self-mockery. I didn’t really think even for a second that Slim would actually consider this one a contender, but I gave it a shot anyway…and then Uncle Slim just liked it exactly as it is - and he’s a very strong-willed guy beneath that gentle exterior.
My good old dog Keeping my blood pressure down My good old dog Someone to walk with when I’ve got to get myself into town A friend in need when I’m too blind to see My good old dog ain’t never gonna let me down
My good old car is gonna get me to the show We’ve come this far, and we don’t like to travel slow My trusty steed… The Rusty Rocket’s running hot! My good old car ain’t never gonna let me down
My good old Gal Pouring me another beer My good old Gal, shedding me a gentle tear I love her more than my car and my dog My good Old Gal ain’t never gonna let me down
I love her more than my car and my dog My good Old Gal ain’t never gonna let me down
