Lyrics
This early I?m surprised that you rolled outta bed
To say good morning to me ? a lick on the hand
Preparing for the busy day you?ve got ahead?
Sitting on the couch all day
Beggin? for the crumbs left on my plate
I wonder how you handle your workload
?Cause it sure looks hard to stay at home
I wish I had my dog?s life
To have no concept of time
And love is always unconditional
Get by on looks every time
I wish that I could relate
To still be sleeping at eight
And watch the world outside my windowsill
Instead of working all day
This morning you could barely tiptoe through the snow
Too spoiled to get your business done when it?s too cold
But you don?t have to shovel or drive through the storm
Scratching at the blanket where you lay
Pondering how you won?t have to pay
For anything you rip up and destroy
Kinda like my house is one big toy
I wish I had my dog?s life
To have no concept of time
And love is always unconditional
Get by on looks every time
I wish that I could relate
To still be sleeping at eight
And watch the world outside my windowsill
Instead of working all day, Yeah?
Could it be the biggest thing you fear
Barkin? at the noise no one could hear
When nothing you could say could be explained
You hope I understand all your complaints
I wish I had my dog?s life
To have no concept of time
And love is always unconditional
Get by on looks every time
I wish that I could relate
To still be sleeping at eight
And watch the world outside my windowsill
Instead of working all day
And watch the world outside my windowsill
Instead of working all day
I wish I had my dog?s life
