Waitin' on a Dog to Bark

He ain't right since you been gone

Just lays around in the shade all day long

Don't care about the mailman

Don't care about the cats

Only one thing in this world that'll bring him back

If your Firestones hit that chert rock road

And you cross that one lane bridge

He'll come up off the porch

Tearin' 'cross the yard and wakin' up the dark, yeah

Meet you at the gate 'cause he knows you're comin'

Till that night, I ain't doin' nothin'

But sittin' right here with a beer and a broken heart

Waitin' on a dog to bark

Yeah, I been sleepin' with the windows up

So I can hear him tellin' me that you're missin' us

And if he goes crazy, yeah, I'll have enough time

To cut a couple roses and pour you a glass of missed-you-like-hell red wine

If your Firestones hit that chert rock road

And you cross that one lane bridge

He'll come up off the porch

Tearin' 'cross the yard and wakin' up the dark, yeah

Meet you at the gate 'cause he knows you're comin'

Till that night, I ain't doin' nothin'

But sittin' right here with a beer and a broken heart

Waitin' on a dog to bark

If your headlights hit that old hedge row

And he sees that cloud of dust

He won't be the only one in that yard

Wakin' up the dark, yeah

Meet you at the gate 'cause he knows you're comin'

Till that night I ain't doin' nothin'

But sittin' right here with a beer and a broken heart

Waitin' on a dog to bark

Yeah, waitin' on a dog to bark

Yeah, waitin' on a dog to bark

Waitin' on a dog to bark
