Dan Shepherd

Lyrics

Well, she took my heart and she pulled it right out of my chest.
With a rolling pin she made sure that it was flat and compressed.
She tenderized it a little,
and she pounded it in the middle.

Then she took my heart and she threw it in the flower bed.
With a rake and hoe she buried it like it was dead.
But my dog found it the next day,
And brought it back my way.

Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.
Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.

She took my heart and she tried to flush it down the drain.
But it got stuck up and she made me come and fix it again.
She tried to put it in the fireplace,
but it didn’t have enough space.
Oh, she took my heart and she put it in the garbage can.
She never thought about it when she ran off with the garbage man.
But my dog found it the next day,
And brought it back my way.

Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.
Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.

She took my heart and she tried to put in her purse.
She forgot about the phrase, “for better or worse.”
She got my Mercedes Benz,
And she bragged about it with friends.

Oh, she got the house; I got my pickup truck.
She got the kids I got the bills, and a little bit of luck.
The Judge said the dog was mine,
Now I’m doing just fine.

Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.
Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.
Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.
Thank God for dogs, thank God for dogs.
