Lyrics
was hangin’ out last night at the top cat when the band slowed down when Merle
Man I hit it ‘cross the bar-room trying to find my baby girl
Some drunk tried to punk me, and ask my baby do you dance
She said, “Yes I do, but not with you, I’m waitin’ on my man”
See every dog has its day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone
One moment in the sunshine when your ducks lined up in a row
Lucky dog gets a big ol’ bed, stray dog gets the porch
Every dog has its day dog, but today dog just ain’t yours
Well I flipped her around, and I kissed her, and she said lets do one more
And we were halfway through a two-step when he stepped out on the floor
He jerked me back and said, “I’m cuttin’ in girl, let’s docee do”
She doubled up her fist and caught him right square on the nose
Every dog has its day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone
One moment in the sunshine when the ducks line up in a row
Lucky dog gets a big ol’ bed, stray dog gets the porch
Every dog has its day dog, but today dog just ain’t yours
Fat dog, skinny dog, little itty bitty dog
Hot dog, Kurd dog, weenie dog, bird dog
Hound dog, cow dog, bow wow, wow dog
Wonder dog, barkin’ dog, chasing’ parked car dog
Every dog has its day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone
One moment in the sunshine, when your ducks line up in a row
Yeah, the lucky dog gets a big ol’ bed, stray dog gets the porch
Every dog has its day dog, but today dog just ain’t yours
Every dog has its day dog, but today dog just ain’t yours
