Hound Dogs in August

Sitting like a dog out here out on the porch
While my people have a party inside
Looking for somebody who can put out a torch
This flame is too hot to abide
Now I don’t care what anybody thinks
When the air is so heavy and slow
I’ll be all right in a few more drinks
A little Tennessee will soften the blow
Hound dogs in August
Gonna bay at the moon until dawn
Too hot to think, so fix another drink
And kiss me ‘fore the moment is gone
My fingers are sore from signing all the papers
Saying what is still yours and what’s mine
And my head is full of nothing but the vapors
In the morning we are gonna be fine
Why do you care what everybody thinks
When the heat of the moment is on?
Maybe you’ve forgotten that everybody blinks
And things are over when they’ve barely begun
Hound dogs in August
Gonna bay at the moon until dawn
Too hot to think, so fix another drink
And kiss me ‘fore the moment is gone
We’ve grown shockingly familiar
We both know what that can bring
We can’t seem to live together
But we sure as hell could sing
Like hound dogs in August
Gonna bay at the moon until dawn
Too hot to think, so fix another drink
And kiss me ‘fore the moment is gone
