Man you better be careful when you throw your dog a bone
'cause once he knows where it's coming from
man he won't leave you alone

baby diggin' out the dog, yeah diggin' out the dog
when you give it all you got baby you can't go wrong

You got your nose to the grindstone
working your fingers to the bone
twenty four hours, seven days a week
Man, don't weep and moan

baby diggin' out the dog, yeah diggin' out the dog
when you give it all you got baby you can't go wrong

Life ain't no picture postcard
sometimes it's full of pain
babe let the sunshine down
you got to lay out in the falling rain

Life ain't no picture postcard
sometimes it's full of pain
babe let the sun shine down
you got to lay out in the falling rain

yeah it's a dog eat dog a tooth and nail
it's a fight every step of the way
it's a marked deck and a loaded dice
it's the dues you gotta pay
when you're diggin' out the dog

yeah diggin' out the dog
when you give it all you got baby you can't go wrong
oh diggin' out the dog
yeah diggin' out the dog
when your work feels good, baby you can't go wrong
when you give it all you got baby you can't go wrong
