Floating Down the Platte (Remastered x2)

[Verse] He always said the song of the world was a strange tune From the bellies of worms and the rotting wood of old shacks And how could he complain? The last time he did he found himself face down Floating down the Platte [Chorus] Cheating death Gasping for his breath Wet to the bone A stranger with no home [Verse 2] Somewhere on the mountain He met his match A young dog who had no business sniffing at the water's edge With his head to the floor and his ears to the wind He went down that path Floating down the Platte [Chorus] Cheating death Gasping for his breath Wet to the bone A stranger with no home [Bridge] Ah-ah Ah-ah-ah [Verse 3] Now If you meet a man with a hound by his side Just know that the two of them have done more than their fair share of time When they come for the soul The one who's meant to last Floating down the Platte
