Lucky Dog
Lucky Dog: Unveiling the Canine Wisdom in Love's Aftermath
Lyrics
He lays right there in her bed
Describes a man lying in a woman's bed.
Watches her put her makeup on
Observes the woman applying makeup.
She comes out and kisses his head
The woman kisses the man's head affectionately.
While the sun shines through the shades
Sunlight enters the room through the shades.
She cracks two eggs in the pan
Describes the woman cooking breakfast with two eggs.
One for her and one for him
One egg for her and one for the man.
Hugs on him 'fore she's out the door and says
She hugs him before leaving and expresses that she'll miss him.
"I'll miss you today"
Expresses the man's luck in the relationship.
Lucky dog
Repeats the sentiment of the man being fortunate.
Aw, lucky dog
Reiterates the man's luck in the relationship.
She spends all day thinkin' 'bout him,
Details the woman's thoughts about the man, emphasizing his ability to make her smile.
Just how much he makes her smile
-Shows pictures of him to her friends sayin'
-"Look how cute he is"
-Heard he gets along good with her dad
-And they go fishing all the time
-It kinda makes me mad
-'Cause he can make her laugh just like I did
-Lucky dog
-He never won the lottery
Contrasts the man's luck in love with traditional notions of luck (lottery, clover, poker), expressing the narrator's envy.
He never found a four leaf clover
-He never hit a straight on the river
-But he got to go with her
-When she told me it was over
-He don't know how good he's got it
-Layin' next to her all night long
-Hell, he's just a black lab
-But buddy, I'd give anything to be that lucky dog
-Yeah, lucky dog
Reaffirms the man's luck in the relationship.
No, it don't matter what he does
Describes the man's carefree attitude even during the narrator's difficult breakup.
He could stumble 'round at 3AM
-'Til she's awake and all she'd say is
-"Hey, come back to bed"
-And he was none the wiser
-When my whole world just drove away
-No, he didn't cry at she and I's goodbye
-He just stuck his head in the wind
-Lucky dog
-He never won the lottery
Continues the contrast between the man's relationship luck and the narrator's challenges.
He never found a four leaf clover
-He never hit a straight on the river
-But he got to go with her
-When she told me it was over
-He don't know how good he's got it
-Layin' next to her all night long
-Hell, he's just a black lab
-But buddy, I'd give anything to be that lucky dog
-Yeah, lucky dog
Repeats the sentiment of the man being fortunate.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if he misses me
Reflects on the narrator's wondering if the man misses him while in the woman's arms.
When he's wrapped up in her arms
-Have no idea how it feels
-To break an angel's heart, lucky dog
-He never won the lottery
Continues the contrast, expressing the narrator's longing to be in the man's position.
He never found a four leaf clover
-He never hit a straight on the river
-But he got to go with her
-When she told me it was over
-He don't know how good he's got it
-Layin' next to her all night long
-Hell, he's just a black lab
-But buddy, I'd give anything to be that lucky dog
-Oh, lucky dog
Concludes by calling the man a lucky dog, emphasizing his fortune.
Yeah, lucky dog
-You damn, ol' lucky dog
