Story Behind The Song
As a songwriter, sometimes you just sit around all day figuring out songs, but to your significant other, it just seems like your wasting time. I think
the inspiration for the song came from a comment such as - "You might as well be a dog."
Song Description
Where life strangely resembles daily living as a dog, a lazy hound dog.

Lyrics
JUST A DOG
Copyright 1996 David Walburn
Verse A
Everybody wants to know what's ailing me
Am I sick have I got some disease
No don't you worry, I'm doing fine
I'm in no hurry, cause I'm taking my sweet time
Chorus: I'm Just A Dog in a man's world
I want to lay around all day long
No desire to work or worry
So don't treat me wrong 'cause I'm Just A dog
Verse:
My baby said why don't you go and get a job
You ain't no better than an old hound dog
You lay around in the shade all day
Nighttime comes and then all you want to do is play
Chorus (repeat)
Bridge: I bark, but I do not bite
May cause some trouble but I don't want to fight
I may stray every now and then but I'm faithful to you, baby
I'm your best friend
Chorus (repeat)
