My dog ran away and my wife ran with him,
I'm gonna miss that dog...it's an all-time low.
They sent me a post card saying "See ya, sucker,
We're waggin' our tails on the Gulf of Mexico."
The farm's so bad, Willie Nelson couldn't help us.
The wheat and the peas and the corn just wouldn't grow.
Dead birds around me with the West Nile Virus.
My best horse died - from what I don't know.
Been through some trials and been through tribulations,
Followed a rainbow just to get my pot of gold.
The only thing I found was the pot that some one pissed in;
A beat up Chevy and a heart full of shotgun holes.
A politician passed through my town last summer.
It must have been - oh, about ten months ago.
My daughter had a baby that looks just like that feller
She dumped him off on me and said, "Daddy, gotta go."
Ain't had a slap and I ain't had a tickle,
Ain't made my trailer rock to and fro.
My Dixie ran off with an Amway salesman.
They're in a Motel outside of Tupelo.
Been through some trials and been through tribulations,
Followed a rainbow just to get my pot of gold.
The only thing I found was the pot that some one pissed in;
A beat up Chevy and heart full of shotgun holes.
Hitched a ride to town just to get a little action.
Sow a few oats with the boys, Will and Joe.
They turned our saloon into a bar just for broncos.
Now I'm sipping margaritas to Manilow.
Went to see Sally, she's my red light honey.
But they threw her in the can and they wouldn't let her go.
So now I got no Sally and I got no Dixie.
Once again I'm home making love all alone.
Been through some trials and been through tribulations,
Followed a rainbow just to get my pot of gold.
The only thing I found was the pot that some one pissed in;
A beat up Chevy and a heart full of shotgun holes.
My dog ran away and my wife ran with him,
I'm gonna miss that dog, it's an all-time low.
They sent me a post card saying "See ya, sucker,
We're waggin' our tails on the Gulf of Mexico."
