[Verse] Rain on the pavement, city lights in the haze, I walk in with my guitar and my worn-out bluesy ways. Heâs waiting there on the corner, tail a-tappinâ low, Eyes like a river, knowinâ every word Iâll show. [Pre-Chorus] No need to call, heâs always there, Like a shadow I canât shake, but I donât care. [Chorus] Oh, my dog, my faithful, my midnight friend, Always at the door when the music starts to end. You donât sing a note, but you know all the pain, Youâre the only one who knows my blues the same. My dog, my soul, my quiet flameâ Yeah, my dog, my dog, my bluesmanâs name. [Verse] Mama said Iâd stray, but you kept me true, Saw the worst in me and still you stayed with you. You hear the ache in my voice when the strings take flight, And you howl back soft in the fading light. [Pre-Chorus] No need to speak, youâre my silent proof, A bark, a lookâyour love's the truth. [Chorus] Oh, my dog, my faithful, my midnight friend, Always at the door when the music starts to end. You donât sing a note, but you know all the pain, Youâre the only one who knows my blues the same. My dog, my soul, my quiet flameâ Yeah, my dog, my dog, my bluesmanâs name. [Bridge] When the stage is dark and the world feels cold, You warm my feet when the sky turns old. No fame, no fanfare, just your steady gazeâ A dog with a heart made of jazz and haze. [Chorus] Oh, my dog, my faithful, my midnight friend, Always at the door when the music starts to end. You donât sing a note, but you know all the pain, Youâre the only one who knows my blues the same. My dog, my soul, my quiet flameâ Yeah, my dog, my dog, my bluesmanâs name. [Outro] My dog⊠my dog⊠my song⊠My dog⊠my soul⊠where I belong. Yeah⊠my dog⊠my dog⊠my bluesmanâs nameâŠ
