When Dogs Run Away

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Look out your window

Tell me what you see

I see a little dog

Struggling to believe

The people inside

Are family at all

There's a picture of happiness

But it ain't on their wall

Look in a little more

Here's what I saw

Two people waiting

For their attorney to call

Passing one another in the kitchen once more

But they don't wanna see each other anymore

When dogs run away

People get divorced

Country songs are written

And children make a choice

To go with their mothers

Or to go with their fathers

The dog don't even try

No, he don't even bother

Look on the porch

Sitting right there

An empty dog bowl

By an old rocking chair

That once held food

For a dog they loved

But now that he's gone

They've had enough (They've had enough)

When dogs run away

People get divorced

Country songs are written

And children make a choice

To go with their mothers

Or to go with their fathers

The dog don't even try

No, he don't even bother

When dogs run away

People get divorced

Country songs are written

And children make a choice

When dogs run away

People separate

Lifetimes of lovin'

End in hate
