lyrics
My Dog Thinks I Am
I came home from work early and I found my girl was gone
She mowed the words "good bye" in the front yard on the lawn
As I slumped in my chair he put his paw upon my hand
Lord, help me be the person that my dog thinks I am
I went to work the next day, I couldn't face me no more loss
But I got fired when I had a fight with my boss
My four-legged buddy wagged his tail and said I'm grand
Lord, help me be the person that my dog thinks I am
I am a bruiser and a loser and a rough-and-tumble cad
I've got no right to breath the air, every reason to be sad
I've spent my time in jail, been a low-down-rotten slob
Left my dirty clothes on the floor and my undies in a wad (oh my God!)
He makes it clear to me I'm better than sliced bread
And if he runs out too, at that moment I'll be dead
Lord, just one thing I ask--if it's in your plan
Help me be the person that my dog thinks I am!
