Got me on a short leash, tied to your screen door   I used to run with the big dogs 'til I stretched out on your front porch   Used to be a hound dog, chased a lot of fast cars   Now I don't even bark when the kitty cats stroll through the back yard      I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam   Then I caught her trail one day, followed this girl home   I ain't the same, she knows how to put my chain      They say that an old dog, can't learn a new trick   Well she taught me to stay the first day and I learned real quick   There's a doghouse, a fence and a gate latch   I keep my tail waggin' and I don't mind beggin for a good scratch      I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam   Then I met this girl one day that brought this old stray home   I ain't the same, she knows how to pull my chain      I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam   Then I caught her trail one day, followed this girl home   I ain't the same, she knows how to pull my chain
