Red Eye Rover Video (MV)

I tell you Judge, it's the honest truth, my dog gets away when I'm on the booze
And he hits the town runnin' wild and woolly all over
Well I open that bottle and I have a few and there's no tellin' what that dog might do
He's a mean ol' hound dog-Red-eye Rover

Well he took my rifle and shot the sign in front of Montgomery's Liquor & Wine
Then blamed it all on me when I was sober
He was racin' my truck, howlin' at the moon, that wasn't me, I slept 'til noon
It's my bad ol' hound dog-Red-eye Rover

I tried to tell the officers I didn't break the law
So let me back to my whiskey and you get back to chasing that dog

He played cards at Jimmy's on Friday night, he got caught cheatin' and started a fight
While I was sittin' home drinkin' Southern Exposure
He led the troopers on a high speed chase and somehow ended up at my place
He's a clever ol' hound dog-Red-eye Rover

I know there's a lot of puppies in town, their eyes are red and their spots are brown
But don't look at me, it's just like I told ya
He chases the ladies, he's never been fixed, comes home each night with a different...
Well, he's a randy ol' hound dog-Red-eye Rover

I try to tell the girls in town I don't know what they mean
They say I didn't treat 'em right but honestly, that wasn't me

So, Judge, don't lock me in the pound, don't neuter me or put me down
Just let me have a drink and think it over
I got a bottle of redeye in my truck, I'll take a drive and with a little bit of luck
I'll find that hound dog-Red-eye Rover
