I was dreaming about you, baby
And the dog woke me up last night
I was dreaming about you, baby
And the dog just howled all night
I laid there thinking about you 'til the morning light

I've been missing you, baby
But my alimony ain't been paid
I've been missing you, baby
But my alimony ain't been paid
And that cool town woman is so bad to carry a blade

I'm no good for you, baby
You know I'll never be free
No good for you, baby
You know my heart ain't free
That cool town woman has still got a hold on me

I ought to move to the country
And find a little piece of ground
Move out to the country
Find a little piece of ground
But that cool town woman would sure enough to hunt me down

I was dreaming about you, baby
When the dog woke me up last night
I was dreaming about you, baby
And the dog just howled all night
I laid there thinking about you 'til the morning light
