A Doped Up Dog
I got a dog likes to wander around
You might see him anywhere in town
In my neighbor’s yard or in his trash
Today, I don’t know where he’s been
He just came a-staggerin’ in
I think that my old dog has found a stash.
I got a doped up dog
Don’t know what to do
He’s layin’ in the yard, howling at the moon
He won’t feel so good
In the light of day
I don’t know what makes him act that way.
Friday night and I’m on the town
You can see me all around
Any place where I can get a belt
Made it in a half past three
My old dog just looked at me
I think he knew exactly how I felt.
Like a doped up dog
Don’t know what to do
I’m layin’ in the yard, howling at the moon
I won’t feel so good
In the light of day
I don’t know what makes me act that way.
Well, Jake just looked me in the eye
And I said “Yea Boy, we can try
To straighten up and get on the right track
Then we won’t feel so rough
Messin’ ‘round with all that stuff
And you and me won’t ever have to act….
Like a doped up dog
Don’t know what to do
We’re layin’ in the yard, howling at the moon
We won’t feel so good
In the light of day
I don’t know what makes us act that way.
