Story Behind The Song
I was driving home after a long night's work thinking of getting home and seeing my wife and my best friend, my dog Mitch. I started thinking about how much I would miss either one if they were gone and about Mitch's big sad eyes. The song basically wrote itself...

Lyrics
Even dogs get the blues
You know that they do
One look in those big sad eyes
Will give you a clue
Though we all know
Nobody can guess why it's true
Even dogs get the blues
Sometimes love's just not right
You fuss and you fight
Those worrisome days
And those long sleepless nights
You try and you cry
Hopin' you'll somehow see the light
Sometime love's just not right
We miss your conversation, your witty observations
Every little thing you do
You've been gone so long
We need you back where you belong
My dog and me definitely got the blues
And so here we stand
A dog and his man
Barin' our souls
Hopin' you'll understand
Walkin' the floor
Watchin' the door hopin' it's you
Even dogs get the blues
