More Like My Dog lyrics All he needs is food and water A little shelter from the rain He ain't the type that likes to argue I've never once heard him complain He never asks me where I've been She could learn thing or two from him I say come, he comes right here He loves to go fetch my next beer He rolls over, if I tell him to There ain't a thing my dog won't do Yeah, he likes my truck He don't mind my gut And he loves to hunt hogs Why can't she be more like my dog He knows when to keep his mouth shut And both ears open wide He don't ever sweat the small stuff Cause he's just glad to be alive You could say he's my best friend Why can't she be more like him I say come, he comes right here He loves to go fetch my next beer He rolls over, if I tell him to There ain't a thing my dog won't do And yeah, he likes my truck He don't mind my gut And he loves to hunt hogs Why can't she be more like my dog I say come, he comes right here He loves to go fetch my next beer He rolls over, if I tell him to There ain't a thing my dog won't do And yeah, he likes my truck He don't mind my gut And he loves to hunt hogs And it's a well-known fact That he's got my back if I get into a squab
Yeah, he's just a pup But he knows what's up We don't need no dialogue Why can't she be more like my dog Yeah, why can't she be more like dog Oh, why can't she be more like dog More like my dog Just a little more like my dog
For today's Dog Song Saturday at Talking Dogs, we've got a country tune with quite a story. Ol' Red was written by James "Bo" Bohan, Don Goodman and Mark Sherrill and originally recorded by country legend George Jones in 1990. In 2002 Blake Shelton released his cover on his self-titled debut album and it became a top 20 hit.
In the song a prison inmate is serving a 99 year sentence for murder. He has the job of taking care of Ol' Red, a Bloodhound used by the prison guards to track escaping inmates. The dog as foiled every escape attempt so far and the warden even goes so far as to dare the inmates to try to escape because "Ol' Red is itching to have some fun.
