What Am I Supposed To Tell The Dog

Man

Sayonara to our plans and that ring on your hand

Guess you and me wasn't meant to be, Jack and Diane

Told my mama that you lied, told my buddies I didn't mind

Told my liver I was sorry when you told me goodbye

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?

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?
