Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting at the bar with a drink or two
Telephone rings, and it's you-know-who
You know who's a-gonna get his ass chewed tonight
Never liked sleeping out in the yard
But crawling up the stairs is too damn hard
Besides, I don't think I can make it that far
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
[Chorus]
Sleeping with the dogs tonight
Howling at the moon
Seems like the morning light
Always comes too soon
I'm all bark, and she's all bite
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
[Verse 2]
She said if I don't get home soon
There won't be home to get home to
My little firecracker has a really short fuse
That don't take much to light
I could give up half of everything I own
And stay right here and just get stoned
Or obey my master and go home, go home
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
[Chorus]
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
Howling at the moon
Feels like the morning light
Always comes too soon
I'm all bark, and she's all bite
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
[Verse 3]
This boy's night out has been real fun
But now the good time's almost done
When she gets this way, well, I better run
If I wanna see her smile
If she don't see me pulling in
She said she'd call her ex-boyfriend
It's that guy you heard that just got out of the pen
Boys, I may not be back for a while
[Chorus]
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
Howling at the moon
Feels like the morning light
Always comes too soon
I'm all bark, and she's all bite
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
[Outro]
Oh, I'm all bark, and she's all bite
She's all bite
She's all bite
I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight
