He waits by the door Thinks every passing car's yours all day long You can break the heart of a man 'Cause he can understand But a good boy don't know why you're gone So what am I supposed to tell the dog? Ever since you left He won't even play fetch He just mopes around and won't get outta your side of the bed He's seen you pack a bag But you've always come back But this ain't vacation, how do I explain that? But what am I supposed to tell the dog? He waits by the door Thinks every passing car's yours all day long You can break the heart of a man 'Cause he can understand But a good boy don't know why you're gone So what am I supposed to tell the dog? Oh, at least I have whiskey To cope with the misery And I can tell myself that you probably miss me But what am I supposed to tell the dog? He waits by the door Thinks every passing car's yours all day long You can break the heart of a man 'Cause he can understand But a good boy don't know that he's done nothing wrong So what am I supposed to tell the dog?
