Lyrics I've Got a Dog - Dwight Yoakam

I've Got a Dog

I’ve got a dog and he’s got me
We get along so easily
Wherever I go he’s by my side
I’ve got a dog, I’m satisfied
I’ve got a dog, He howls along
Whenever I play a lonesome song
I’ve got a dog, I call him Hank
My lucky stars I sure do thank
Well, he won’t win a prize for being dog pretty
At a fancy show in the great big city
He’s a mix of hound and I dunno what
A hundred percent pure junkyard mutt
Well I’ve got a dog, he’s really smart
Got soulful eyes and a big ol' heart
This dog of mine, he doesn’t bark
Except all day and after dark
He’s kinda proud, he won’t do tricks
My dog won’t beg or fetch me sticks
He won’t roll over if I say so
If I say speak, he just says «No»
Well, he won’t win a prize for being dog pretty
At a fancy show in the great big city
He’s a mix of hound and I dunno what
A hundred percent pure junkyard mutt
I’ve got a dog and he’s got me
We get along so easily
Wherever I go he’s by my side
I’ve got a dog, I’m satisfied
I’ve got a dog, I’m satisfied
I’ve got a dog, I’m satisfied
C’mon, Hank
