Sometimes Dogs Bark at Nothing

Why does a deer get froze by headlights?

Why does a 'pecker bang his head on your stovepipe

When he's got himself a perfectly good pine log of his own?

Why did I go out lookin' for answers

At the all-night bars with the pole-dancers?

When the truth was waitin' in a one-bed back at home

Sometimes dogs bark at nothin'

Like when little kids start cussin'

They don't know why, they just do it 'cause they can

Sometimes a girl's heart gets busted

By a boy that she once trusted

Ain't no reason 'cept that he was born a man

Why does a lightning bug keep flashin'

Dyin' in the ditch with a burnin' passion

When all the other bugs have got their lovin' and gone?

How come there ain't no rhyme or reason

For why a big bright sun in the summer season

Can still leave a body feeling cold and all alone?

Sometimes dogs bark at nothin'

Like when little kids start cussin'

They don't know why, they just do it 'cause they can

Sometimes a girl's heart gets busted

By a boy that she once trusted

Ain't no reason 'cept that he was born a man

Yeah, there ain't no reason 'cept that he was born a man
