Lyrics: Farm Dog Food Dish
Performed by Debbie “Hayride” Harper & The Prairie Songbirds
(Verse 1)
Well, that farm dog can’t find his own food dish,
Stood by the gate like it’s some kinda quiz.
Staring at an open door, scratching at the wall,
You’d think he’d figure it out, but nah, not at all.
Chasin’ that tractor like it’s made of steak,
Forgettin’ he’s supposed to herd, for goodness’ sake.
(Chorus)
That ol’ dog can’t find his own food dish,
He’s got big dreams, but it’s mostly mischief.
Chasing his tail like it’s a game of fetch,
Dumber than a barn door that won’t unlatch.
Yeah, that ol’ dog couldn’t find his own food dish,
But he’s loyal and sweet, so he gets his wish.
(Verse 2)
Out by the pond, he took a big leap,
Forgot how water works, now he’s in deep.
Barkin’ at fields like they owe him cash,
While the cows all moo, “The dog’s name is Crash!”
Every squirrel’s his nemesis, runs like mad,
While the chickens cluck, “That dog’s bad!”
(Chorus)
That ol’ dog can’t find his own food dish,
He’s got big dreams, but it’s mostly mischief.
Diggin’ up holes like he’s lookin’ for gold,
But it’s just the boot he buried not long ago.
Yeah, that ol’ dog couldn’t find his own food dish,
But he’s got my heart, so he’ll never miss.
(Bridge)
He’ll lie in the pasture, thinkin’ he’s a cow,
But he’ll bolt in front of the tractor like “Ain’t ya gonna stop now?”
Mud’s his perfume, he wears it proud,
Gets lost in his world, but man, he’s loud!
(Verse 3)
That ol’ dog’s barkin’ at an empty space,
Like he’s seein’ things from outer space.
Scratchin’ beside the barn door all day long,
Ain’t nobody told him he’s doin’ it wrong.
But when he finds that stick, his tail goes wild,
Forget about the ball, it’s the stick that’s the style!
(Chorus)
That ol’ dog can’t find his own food dish,
He’s got big dreams, but it’s mostly mischief.
Chasin’ his tail like it’s gold to catch,
Dumber than a barn door that won’t unlatch.
Yeah, that ol’ dog couldn’t find his own food dish,
But he’s loyal and sweet, so he gets his wish.
(Outro)
Yeah, that farm dog can’t find his own food dish,
But he’s got my love, and that’s his one big wish.
He’s the king of the farm, in his own little way,
Even if he’s lost, at the end of the day.
