Ballad of a Country Dog

My brain is bound up, can’t see past my eyes
I’m weak as a pup, got ticks in my ears and flies
If somebody would give me some love
If somebody would give me some love
If somebody would give me some love
I would be so surprised

I'm stretched on a rack, ain’t it hard to believe
I’m flat on my back with no slack, ain't got no time to grieve
If somebody would give me a shove
If somebody would give me a shove
If somebody would give me a shove
I would be happy to leave

And I'd like to get back, get back home
Get back home to you
And do the Ballad of a country dog
Bringin’ home them funky bone blues

My brain is bound up, can’t see past my eyes
I’m weak as a pup, got ticks in my ears and flies
If somebody would give me some love
If somebody would give me some love
If somebody would give me some love
I would be so surprised

I’d like to get back, get back home
Get back home to you
And do the Ballad of a country dog
Bringin’ home them funky bone blues
