Lyrics

Here I am on Court TV
I can't believe it's me
One thing's for certain
These chains are hurtin'
And I'm longin' to be free
The family's mad
They don't understand
She loved diamonds
Not my Doberman
They threw the book at me
Took away my life
I saved the dog
Instead of my wife

I saved the dog
Over my wife
Now the judge just sentenced me to life
On her drownin' arm
I saw that weddin' band
Then I waved goodbye
And gave my dog a hand
Now I'm doin' time
And my life's over
Because of Rover

Now I've always been
A lovin' man
With a dog gone sexy girl
Who cooks and cleans
Fills out her jeans
And sets my heart a whirl
But when it comes to makin' choices
Here's how the story ends
Don'tcha know I had to let her go
To stay with my best friend

I saved the dog
Over my wife
Now the judge just sentenced me to life
On her drownin' arm
I saw that weddin' band
Then I waved goodbye
And gave my dog a hand
Now I'm doin' time
And my life's over
Because of Rover

Now I'm doin' time
And my life's over
Because of Rover
