Outside Dog

Seems I've cleaned up my edges
Just enough to slip in
Some party like a pledge
And then get kicked to the curb again
But I cain't be sippin' from no crystal, y'all
Grew up drinkin' from the jug
Ain't never had no pedigree
Always been a mut
But I've walked these streets a stray
Enough to know where I don't belong
So y'all stay golden now, ya hear
This pony boy is gone

I'm an outside dog, howlin' along
To that lone wolf song
Ain't got no bones you can throw
I cain't dig up on my own
I don't need to be fed, just wanna be free
Ain't lettin' nobody put chains on me
All bite and my bark's got a dirty southpaw
Ah-ooh, yeah, outside dog
Outside dog

They say I think I'm really something
The way I wag around
Yeah, but I'm just mindin' mine
And keepin' my nose to the ground
I don't go on wild goose chases
They just lead down rabbit holes
So If that's the game you're huntin', honey
Just leave this hound alone
Well my howl's the loudest in the pack
And it sounds a lot like music
I've got a bristle on my back
And I ain't afraid to use it

I'm an outside dog, howlin' along
To that lone wolf song
Ain't got no bones you can throw
I cain't dig up on my own
I don't need to be fed, just wanna be free
Ain't lettin' nobody put chains on me
All bite and my bark's got a dirty southpaw
Ah-ooh, yeah, outside dog

Yeah, I'm tired of how the big dog
Keep on barkin' like he lives it
I come from the junkyard
And that puppy's just pretendin'
"Now Elvie, you cain't say that
You can growl, but you cain't bite"
Uh hello, I'm a pitbull
I came in here to fight

I'm an outside dog, howlin' along
To that lone wolf song
Ain't got no bones you can throw
I cain't dig up on my own
I don't need to be fed, just wanna be free
Ain't lettin' nobody put chains on me
All bite, my bark's got a dirty southpaw
Ah-ooh, yeah, outside dog
Outside dog
Outside dog
Outside dog
Come at me, boy
I am the big dog
Get your ass back on the porch
