Traveling Nights with a Drummer Dog

The moon is hanging like a heavy coin

Above the road where two old spirits join

I carry the wood and the rusted strings

My partner carries what the rhythm brings

Four wooden paws on the cold gray stone

We never have to walk this mile alone

He wags his tail to a four-four beat

Clicking his heels on the quiet street

Side by side, we’re moving on

Just a boy and a dog until the dawn

Side by side, we’re moving on

The song goes on and on

The tavern door throws a yellow light

A smoky haven in the middle of the night

We take the stage by the fireplace

I see the wonder on a stranger's face

Side by side, we’re moving on

Just a boy and a dog until the dawn

Side by side, we’re moving on

The song goes on and on

He hits the snare with a steady hand

The smallest drummer in a two-piece band

The people clap as the fiddle cries

I see the starlight in my best friend's eyes

Side by side, we’re moving on

Just a boy and a dog until the dawn

Side by side, we’re moving on

The song goes on and onWalking home, the show is done

Wait for the morning sun

Good boy, let's go

The song goes on and on
