[Intro]
Man

[Verse 1]
Sayonara to our plans and that ring on your hand
Guess you and me wasn't meant to be, Jack and Diane
Told my mama that you lied, told my buddies I didn't mind
Told my liver I was sorry when you told me goodbye

[Chorus]
But what am I supposed to tell the dog?
He waits by the door
Thinks every passing car's yours all day long
You can break the heart of a man
'Cause he can understand
But a good boy don't know why you're gone
So what am I supposed to tell the dog?

[Verse 2]
Ever since you left, he won't even play fetch
He just mopes around and won't get outta your side of the bed
He's seen you pack a bag, but you've always come back
But this ain't vacation, how do I explain that?

[Chorus]
But what am I supposed to tell the dog?
He waits by the door
Thinks every passing car's yours all day long
You can break the heart of a man
'Cause he can understand
But a good boy don't know why you're gone
So what am I supposed to tell the dog?
[Bridge]
Oh, at least I have whiskey to cope with the misery
And I can tell myself that you probably miss me

[Chorus]
But what am I supposed to tell the dog?
He waits by the door
Thinks every passing car's yours all day long
You can break the heart of a man
'Cause he can understand
But a good boy don't know that he's done nothing wrong
So what am I supposed to tell the dog?
