Dogs Are Barking Lyrics by Lee Brice
Home a day early from a deadhead run
Parked the Peterbilt out by the barn
Everything looks the same in the midnight sun
But the dogs are barking
She met me with a kiss and a welcome home
She baked a pound cake, had some coffee on
But I couldn’t shake that feeling that something’s wrong
‘Cause the dogs are barking
Ooh, the sheriff don’t make it this far out
But I got eyes and ears on the ground
And the dogs are barking
Ooh, they say the truth will set you free
But secrets are hard to keep when the dogs are barking
I had a trail-cam pointed at the drive to the house
Took a walk in the woods and pulled the card out
And it didn’t take long to figure out
Why the dogs were barking
Twenty pictures of a banker’s Cadillac
Got him coming, got him going, got him coming back
Caught ’em both red-handed in white and black
While the dogs were barking
Ooh, Sheriff Hughes, he don’t make it this far out
But I got eyes and ears on the ground
And the dogs are barking
Ooh, went to the bank and I got me some cash
He waved at me, I just smiled back
At a dead man walking
A dead man walking
The newspapers say that banker, he disappeared
Yeah, I read it in Spanish down here
Ooh, a Peterbilt in a peso town
Heard the States were running their hounds
But mine are here with me and they ain’t talking
Ooh, I bet she’s wondering where her banker is now
I probably should have put him further down
‘Cause the dogs are barking, oh
Ooh, they say the truth will set you free
But secrets are hard to keep
When the dogs are barking
The dogs are barking
The dogs are barking
