Lyrics
SEVEN DAYS IN THE DOGHOUSE CHORUS Well I spent Seven days in the doghouse Six days apologizin’ Five days wondering what the hell I’d done and four days wisin’ up I counted those days right down to three Keeping her love is worth it to me With two days left I saw the light at the end But on the very last day I must’ve done it again VERSE 1 It was fourth and game with ten seconds left I threw chips at the TV, I cursed at the ref Six beers later, I must’ve gone deaf ‘Cause she hollered we were late and I wasn’t ready yet How time flies when you lose track Thirty more minutes that I’ll never get back The room got cold I then I saw her face When she caught me on the couch watchin’ the race I spent… CHORUS Seven days in the doghouse Six days apologizin’ Five days wondering what the hell I’d done and four days wisin’ up I counted those days right down to three Keeping her love is worth it to me With two days left I saw the light at the end But on the very last day I must’ve done it again VERSE 2 I ran my John Deere through her garden in broad daylight Poured bleach in the laundry by mistake and lied I took a beer to church on Sunday night I keep loudmouthed friends with wanderin’ eyes This old dog’s off the chain but his collar’s too tight And his bark ain’t half as bad as her bite She’ll rub my nose in it for the rest of my life watchin’ Lifetime Network instead of Spike FILL (instead of solo – key change) I catch on slower than molasses Must have pushed her on that mood swing far too long I’ll take my fifty lashes, if hindsight’s 20/20 I need glasses I dug a hole so deep I could mail my apology from Hong Kong The clock slows down when you’re guilty as tried I try to say I’m sorry but my tongue gets tied I threw myself at her mercy as my best defense as she handed down a sentence for each offense I spent CHORUS Seven days in the doghouse Six days apologizin’ Five days wondering what the hell I’d done and four days wisin’ up I counted those days right down to three Keeping her love is worth it to me With two days left I saw the light at the end but I shoulda known better and just started again with Seven more days in the doghouse Six days without bail Five days countin’ my blessings ‘Cause the doghouse is cheaper than the local motel With three days left I took two for the pain 'Cause the light at the end was a runaway train My heads too thick, my alibi's too thin So move over Rover, I’m movin’ in
