Well, I found him on the of Seventh and Main In the township of Sloan (Township of Sloan...) He's tired, and he's hungry, he's old, and grungy And parked in a zone
I bent down an' says "How ya doin', old fella?" He to get up on his own (On his own...) When I gave him a piece a' my ham salad He reached up an' on my nose
He gave him a of his ham salad sandwich And reached up and on his nose Old Sloan...
Well, I the door of my old beat-up semi Threw an old shirt on the floor (On the floor...) He in an' laid hisself down by the gearshift Curled up and started to
For years we went truckin' them together On the of life we did roam (They did roam...) With his paws on the dashboard an' his head out the An' his ears in the breeze, gently
With his on the dashboard, his head out the winder And his ears in the breeze blowin' Old Sloan...
When one mornin' last May, four miles north a' I to use a pay telephone (Pay telephone...) Old Sloan made a fireplug, while I made a phone An' when I back, he was gone
Well I searched forty miles of that highway And the that we used to roam (Used to roam...) Ricketts to Red Line, Magnolia to Woodbine But I couldn't find poor ol' Sloan

When on a cold winter day on the of November I's drivin' my rig all (All alone...) When my eye caught a blur in my rear-view mirror An' my ears heard the sound of old
He's runnin' as fast as his old could run 'im An' cryin' for me to down (To slow down...) His tail was a-waggin', his was a-draggin' An' I the door for old Sloan
His tail was a-waggin', his tongue was And he opened the door for old Old Sloan...
