Hound Dog

The same old story: sittin' on the front porch
Waitin' for you to come home
The howlin' at the moon and cryin' of the crickets
'Cause I’m tired of bein' alone
Up from the boondocks I hear thunder
And a strange new wind blows
The whole county know that you’ve been cheatin'
And it’s right underneath my nose
Now I’m a hound dog right on the trail
Of the scent of her perfume
A hound dog right on your tail
Ain’t nothin' I won’t do
You chased after somethin' else and I’m comin' after you
And you better believe: If you wanna be one, I can be a hound dog too
I saw footprints down by the creekbed
Two pair of bare feet
And I found an empty bottle of booze
From under the sycamore tree
And she smelled like straight trouble
This shouldn’t be too hard
I’m sniffin' out your whereabouts
Like a bone in my backyard
Now I’m a hound dog right on the trail
Of the scent of her perfume
A hound dog right on your tail
Ain’t nothin' I won’t do
You chased after somethin' else and I’m comin' after you
And you better believe: If you wanna be one, I can be a hound dog too
There’s generations of my blood
Buried deep in the Mississippi mud
They’ll see a dog without no collar
Diggin' a grave deep in the holler
Oh, 'cause I’m a hound dog right on the trail
Of the scent of her perfume
A hound dog right on your tail
Ain’t nothin' I won’t do
'Cause you chased after somethin' else and I’m comin' after you
And you better believe: If you wanna be one, I can be a hound dog too
You better believe: If you wanna be one, I can be a hound dog too
