This country heartbreak song mixes sharp humor, attitude, and a little revenge with a whole lot of truth. When loyalty disappears and promises turn into lies, sometimes a dog sounds like the better companion.
Melody and lyrics all written by me. Used SUNO to create the demo.

I think I’ll get me a dog
I’m gonna carry him home
I’ll put him on the couch that you’ve been wearing out for so damn long
I’m kicking you to the curb
Cause that’s where the trash belongs
Instead of wasting my love on you, I’d rather lie with the dog
I’m sweeping up your promises
Like glass off the carpet
You lie and cheat then swear you’ll change
But boy you’ll never stop it
All I ever wanted was some loyalty
But I’ll do better at the Humane Society
For what I need….
I think I’ll get me a dog
I’m gonna carry him home
I’ll put him on the couch that you’ve been wearing out for so damn long
I’m kicking you to the curb
Cause that’s where the trash belongs
Instead of wasting my love on you, I’d rather lie with the dog
(Yeah)
Now I can teach a dog to heel and stay
I’ll never catch him at the bar or sneaking in late
(Oh Oh)
I think I’ll get me a dog
I’m gonna carry him home
I’ll put him on the couch that you’ve been wearing out for so damn long
I’m kicking you to the curb
Cause that’s where the trash belongs
Instead of wasting my love on you
I'd rather lie with the dog
Instead of waking up next to you
I’d rather lie with the dog
