[Verse 1] I walked in on Friday, keys still in the door Saw her in his arms, clothes scattered on the floor My best friend since high school, now he's wearin' my shirt She looked me dead in the eyes and said, "This ain't gonna work" Packed up her bags by Sunday, didn't leave a note But the one thing she took that really cut my throat [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the truck's still in the driveway, the fridge is full of beer But the house feels like a graveyard since Buster disappeared [Chorus] So I'm gettin' drunk to forget her, shot after shot of that cheap-ass whiskey Tryin' to drown out the memory of her kiss and his hands on her body She took my heart, took my pride, left me cryin' in the dark But damn it all, she took my dog Now I'm howlin' at the moon in this empty ol' bar Gettin' drunk to forget her... and the dog [Verse 2] That old blue heeler followed her everywhere Tail waggin' like a traitor, didn't even care I taught him how to fetch, how to sit and stay Now he's ridin' shotgun in her new boyfriend's Chevrolet Friends all say "Man, you'll find another one" But they don't know what it's like losin' your number one [Pre-Chorus] The silence in the kitchen hits harder than the bottle No clickin' nails on hardwood, no more midnight cuddles [Chorus] So I'm gettin' drunk to forget her, shot after shot of that cheap-ass whiskey Tryin' to drown out the memory of her kiss and his hands on her body She took my heart, took my pride, left me cryin' in the dark But damn it all, she took my dog Now I'm howlin' at the moon in this empty ol' bar Gettin' drunk to forget her... and the dog [Bridge - Rap Verse] Yo, tomorrow I'll sober up, change the locks on every door Delete the pics, burn the socks, won't see her face no more But right now the neon's buzzin', whiskey got me talkin' slick Jukebox spinnin' breakup hits while I'm drownin' in this shit She took the dog, my ride or die, left me with an empty bed Best friend turned snake, now I'm bit, got venom in my head Blue heeler gone, tail waggin' in somebody else's ride Man this pain hits different when your boy's on the other side One more round, make it double, till the room starts to spin Then maybe I'll forget her... but the dog? Man, that's a sin [Chorus - Final, bigger] Yeah, I'm gettin' drunk to forget her, one more round till the room starts spinnin' Blurrin' out the betrayal and the life that we were livin' She can keep the clothes, keep the truck note, keep whatever the hell she wants But God I miss that damn dog Raisin' one last glass to the love that went wrong Gettin' drunk to forget her... Yeah, I'm gettin' drunk to forget her... and the dog [Outro] ...and the dog
