More I'm Around Some People, The More I Like My Dog

Sonny Burgess


I got a boss that likes to ride my back
Down at the factory
Somebody's always riding my bumper
Honking when the light turns green
I loaned my best buddy money
I ain't seen him since
He avoids me like the plague
Got a message from my girlfriend
She met a new man and married him yesterday

The more I'm around some people
The more I like my dog
Now I don't understand when folks come to see me
Why he tries to run' em off
So I took the chain from around his neck
And put a beware sign on the lawn
'Cause the more I'm around some people
The more I like my dog

I got caught in the middle of he said, she said
Something I didn't say
My landlord told me my rent was going up
Well that's a bill I just can't pay
My neighbor's trying to sue me
He don't know there's nothing to me
My brother complains about the music I play
Just last week I got car-jacked
Now I'm thumbing to work again

The more I'm around some people
The more I like my dog
Man's best friend until the end
He's never done me wrong
So I took the chain from around his neck
And put a beware sign on the lawn
'Cause the more I'm around some people
The more I like my dog

So I took the chain from around his neck
And put a beware sign on the lawn
'Cause the more I'm around some people
The more I like my dog
Yeah the more I'm around some people
You know the more I like my dog
