That Dog Won't Hunt Lyrics

When I was just a boy I always heard my daddy say

When someone told a lie my daddy'd quickly turn

their way

He'd say you know that dog won't hunt

You'd better run that by again

And this time try the truth

And you'll be better off my friend

No that dog won't hunt

I don't believe a single word you say

How can you look me in the eye

And lie to me that way

That dog won't hunt now catch your breath

And try it once again

I'm nobody's fool and I can tell

The truth from lies my friend

When I turned sixteen and learned to drive

I had datin' on my mind

One night I took my girlfriend out

And we both lost track of time

When I got home I told my dad

About the flat tire that I had

Never thinking he would check it out

And when he came back he said

Son that dog won't hunt

I don't believe a single word you say

How can you look me in the eye

And lie to me that way

That dog won't hunt now catch your breath

And try it once again

I'm nobody's fool and I can tell

The truth from lies my friend

No that dog won't hunt

I don't believe a single word you say

How can you look me in the eye

And lie to me that way

That dog won't hunt now catch your breath

And try it once again

I'm nobody's fool and I can tell

The truth from lies my friend

That dog won't hunt and I can tell

The truth from lies my friend
