Fred Eaglesmith - He's A Good Dog lyrics

rate me

Well he's a good dog

I've had him for years

He used to get up when I'd walk by

Now he just lifts up his ears

And he thumps his tail on the floor

When I talk to him

And when I talk to long he just ignores me

And he goes to sleep again

He's a good dog

I got him as a pup

I tried to teach him all the tricks

But then I just gave up

'Cause he's never acted very bright

Though his eyes they've got this glow

And I think he actually knows somethings that

Actually I don't

And he never barks at strangers

But then he never barks at cars

And he howls at the coyotes

While they're howling at the stars

And he scratches at the back door

'Till someone lets him in

And then he scratches at the other side

To get back out again

He's a good dog

One of these days

I'm gonna have to drive him into town

Have him put away

'Cause he don't hear that good no more

And he can't hardly walk

But until then I look at him

And I say

He's a good dog
