The Talking Dog in My Yard

Lyrics

[Verse]
Well, I was sittin' on the porch, just strummin’ my guitar,
When a voice behind me said, "Hey man, you think you're a star?"
I turned around quick, and I couldn't believe my eyes,
There was a dog with a hat and a big old country smile.

[Verse 2]
He said, "Name's Buddy, and I’ve heard you playin' that tune,
But you're outta key, sonny, and you need to swoon."
I laughed out loud, thought it was a big old prank,
But Buddy kept on talkin’ with his voice so frank.

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm singin’ with a talkin’ dog in my yard,
He tells me tales, and he’s got jokes by the yard,
Buddy says, "Don’t quit your day job, son,"
But I just keep strummin’ and we’re havin’ fun.

[Verse 3]
He told me how he once was a rodeo clown,
Made the bulls laugh so hard, they’d fall right down,
But now he’s retired, just a-talkin’ to folks,
Throwin’ in life lessons with his witty dog jokes.

[Verse 4]
We shared a cold beer, and we sang the night away,
Buddy knew old Hank tunes, every chord to play,
By the morning light, I was amazed to see,
That dog had put more country into me.

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm singin’ with a talkin’ dog in my yard,
He tells me tales, and he’s got jokes by the yard,
Buddy says, "Don’t quit your day job, son,"
But I just keep strummin’ and we’re havin’ fun.
