Lucky Dog

(album: Earned It - 2023)

He lays right there in her bed, watches her put her makeup on
She comes out and kisses his head while the sun shines through the shades
She cracks two eggs in the pan, one for her and one for him
Hugs on him 'fore she's out the door and says "I'll miss you today"
Lucky dog
Aw lucky dog

She spends all day thinking 'bout him, just how much he makes her smile
Shows pictures of him to her friends saying "Look how cute he is"
Heard he gets along good with her dad and they go fishing all the time
Kinda makes me mad 'cause he can make her laugh just like I did
Lucky dog

He ain't ever won the lottery, he ain't ever found a four leaf clover
He ain't ever hit a straight on the river but he got to go with her when she told me it was over
He don't know how good he's got it, laying next to her all night long
Hell he's just a black lab, but buddy I'd give anything to be that
Lucky dog
Yeah lucky dog

Naw it don't matter what he does, he could stumble 'round at 3 a.m.
'Til she's awake and all she'd say is "hey come back to bed"
And he was none the wiser when my whole world just drove away
No he didn't cry at she and I's goodbye he just stuck his head in the wind
Lucky dog

He ain't ever won the lottery, he ain't ever found a four leaf clover
He ain't ever hit a straight on the river but he got to go with her when she told me it was over
He don't know how good he's got it, laying next to her all night long
Hell he's just a black lab, but buddy I'd give anything to be that
Lucky dog
Yeah lucky dog

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if he misses me when he's wrapped up in her arms
Have no idea how it feels to break an angel's heart, lucky dog

He ain't ever won the lottery, he ain't ever found a four leaf clover
He ain't ever hit a straight on the river but he got to go with her when she told me it was over
He don't know how good he's got it, laying next to her all night long
Hell he's just a black lab, but buddy I'd give anything to be that
Lucky dog
Oh lucky dog
Yeah lucky dog
Damn ole lucky dog
