You burned out fast like a roadside flare
Left your lipstick ghost on the bathroom mirror
Said I’d drown in all the fights we drew
But the dog kept sleeping by my boots like nothing blew

Chorus
I love my dog more than you
He don’t weaponize the truth
He rides silent when the tires hum
While you turned every mile into a loaded gun
He don’t need excuses to come through
Yeah, I love my dog more than you

Verse 2
We eat gas station jerky in the county line dark
He watches headlights flicker through the trailer park
I play sad songs for folks too drunk to care
He just leans against my leg like he’s holding me there

Chorus
I love my dog more than you
He never kept score when times got cruel
Never packed a bag to prove a point
Never twisted every word till it came apart at the joints
Only one of us knew how to stay true
Yeah, I love my dog more than you

Bridge
Now the house sounds different without your storms
Just the freezer buzz and the screen door moan
That dog still lifts his head when I can’t move
Like he’s waiting on me to make it through

Final Chorus
I love my dog more than you
He don’t turn love into something to survive through
Just mud on the floor and fur on the seat
And a reason to come home every week
If that makes me hard to get to
Yeah, I love my dog more than you.
