Tom T. Hall I Want My Dog Back lyrics

I came home from work last night and this is what I found
My wife was gone, my dog was gone, there was no one around
She took the car and took my dog, I don't know where she's at
I don't care where she went I want my dog back

I want my dog back, he is faithful, he is true
I want my dog back, I don't know what I'll do
If he gets out he'll come on home, he knows that I'll be blue
The only thing that worries me is she might come back too

I never understood that girl, but I sure loved that pup
He knows where the bones are hid and he can dig ‘em up
He sniffs out the neighborhood for a female he can track
He's smarter than she is, I want my dog back


You know the thing that bothers me, what gets to me the worst
She don't care for my old dog, she just wants me to hurt
Now she can come and get the stuff she didn't think to pack
All I want from her, I want my dog back

If anybody sees my wife tell her give me a call
I won't even raise my voice, just want my dog is all
I'll make her an offer, there will be no questions asked
She can have it all, I want my dog back
