Fido stayed all night, he would not go home
I asked him to leave, I said I do not have that bone
I was feeling lonesome sitting by the phone
Wide awake staying up late wishing I was home

You were on the outside talking to some chick
I was on the inside feeling mighty sick
Sleep is what I wanted, you know what I got
Wide awake

Dogs have it made, lying round in the shade
Never have to worry about get there on time
I can't help but wonder what was on your mind
Riding round in the pouring rain, having a heck of time
Living may be easy, dying may be hard
But I'm wide awake staying up late, sending my regards
