From the recording Out in the Country
Pets can take over our lives. This song embraces the lifestyle that comes with owning furry creatures (dogs in Layla’s case), and the love that naturally forms no matter the side effects.
Lyrics
The couch is where we congregate, beloved doggie hugs await, all half-eyed, sleepy, so content, they waited my return again, got beds of foam, soft ‘n round, but leap on a lap to snuggle sound, I love my dogs and they love me...We’re one big happy family
They got toys like toddlers around the house, they’ll take anything round and treat it like a mouse, they love long rides to feel the breeze, wade in the water with graceful ease, they don’t tire till we tell ‘em to settle down, then get right back up to do it over again, I love my dogs and they love me...
We’re one big happy family
Well, I love them so, I wear ‘em on my sleeve ‘cause I got doggie kisses before I’d leave, it’s only good to do this, see, a gift o’ God spelled backward we should receive, I hug my dogs and they hug me, we’re one big, hairy family, I love my dogs and they love me...
We’re one big happy family
