Got me on a short leash, tied to your screen door

I used to run with the big dogs 'til I stretched out on your front porch

Used to be a hound dog, chased a lot of fast cars

Now I don't even bark when the kitty cats stroll through the back yard



I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam

Then I caught her trail one day, followed this girl home

I ain't the same, she knows how to put my chain



They say that an old dog, can't learn a new trick

Well she taught me to stay the first day and I learned real quick

There's a doghouse, a fence and a gate latch

I keep my tail waggin' and I don't mind beggin for a good scratch



I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam

Then I met this girl one day that brought this old stray home

I ain't the same, she knows how to pull my chain



I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam

Then I caught her trail one day, followed this girl home

I ain't the same, she knows how to pull my chain
