lyrics

I wish I was a dog and everything was easy
I'd lie around the yard all day just waiting for someone to feed me
I wish I was a dog living slowly with my people
I'd be the first one there to greet somebody knocking upon our door

If I was a dog, I'd learn to sit so quietly
Yes, I'd stay in place delightfully, in the moment, all time
If I was a dog, although a Storm, it might concern me
But, I would never need to worry with you standing by my side

If I had a big wet nose, it'd be the first thing that I'd follow
I'd learn everything I need to know just from sniffing on the ground
If I had a tail, it'd surely be the end of me
'Cause I'd always give myself away in the way I'd wag it 'round

If I was a dog, I guess I couldn't play the guitar
But, I'd do my best to sing my songs, Friends, a-howlin' and a-bayin'
I wish I was a dog, 'cause I wouldn't think too hard about it
Think I'd just sort of, kind of know it, to find a final spot for layin'...
