"Stray Dogs And Stray Women" lyrics

Stray Dogs And Stray Women

That lazy hound
Sleeping round
Back in my truck
Is one I found
When he was down
To a dog's luck

And this seat cover
That I call lover
Here beside me
Well, she's a lady
Who's foot loose
And fancy free

And I'm a fool
For stray dogs
And stray women
That some man's used
And abused
And left behind

Lord, I'm a fool
For stray dogs
And stray women
I've got a soft spot
In my heart
For their kind

Don't kick the dog
Or call the lady
A tramp, my friend
Just cause they
Both been run off
By some heartless man

They both deserve
Much more than
They'll ever get from life
And if some man
Tries to hurt
He'll help me to find

Cause I'm a fool
For stray dogs
And stray women
That some man's used
And abused
Too many times

Lord, I'm a fool
For stray dogs
And stray women
I've got a soft spot
In my heart
For their kind

Lord, I'm a fool
For stray dogs
And stray women
I've got a soft spot
In my heart
For their kind
