Ooh, ooh, ooh
Look out your window
Tell me what you see
I see a little dog
Struggling to believe
The people inside
Are family at all
There's a picture of happiness
But it ain't on their wall
Look in a little more
Here's what I saw
Two people waiting
For their attorney to call
Passing one another in the kitchen once more
But they don't wanna see each other anymore
When dogs run away
People get divorced
Country songs are written
And children make a choice
To go with their mothers
Or to go with their fathers
The dog don't even try
No, he don't even bother
Look on the porch
Sitting right there
An empty dog bowl
By an old rocking chair
That once held food
For a dog they loved
But now that he's gone
They've had enough (They've had enough)
When dogs run away
People get divorced
Country songs are written
And children make a choice
To go with their mothers
Or to go with their fathers
The dog don't even try
No, he don't even bother
When dogs run away
People get divorced
Country songs are written
And children make a choice
When dogs run away
People separate
Lifetimes of lovin'
End in hate
