Backstory:
Lyrics by Clare Steffen, Music by William Sherry, and vocals by Sandi Kight. The story of a woman who has had enough and is leaving behind her argumentative partner who doesn't appreciate her and doesn't give her love. He's a mean old junkyard dog.
This song has elements of Country Rock, Bluegrass, and didn't exactly fit so probably what it fits best is "Country Boogie"
Lyrics:
Chorus
You’re like a dog with a bone, chased me from my home
Snarlin’ and growlin’ everyday
You’re just a junkyard dog, chained to your past
You hold on to the bad in every way
So, don’t chain me to you, don’t tell me what to do
No one tells this good girl to, sit and stay
V1
You’re on lockdown both night and day
And the gate blocks your sight
If you don’t change your ways
You’ll always be howlin’ at the night
Instrumental
Repeat chorus
You’re like a dog with a bone, chased me from my home
Snarlin’ and growlin’ everyday
You’re just a junkyard dog, chained to your past
You hold on to the bad in every way
So, don’t chain me to you, don’t tell me what to do
No one tells this good girl to, sit and stay
V2
If you don’t forget the past
You’ll stay locked up in your chains
It’s time to move along at last
You’re still young enough to train
Repeat chorus
You’re like a dog with a bone, chased me from my home
Snarlin’ and growlin’ everyday
You’re just a junkyard dog, chained to your past
You hold on to the bad in every way
So, don’t chain me to you, don’t tell me what to do
No one tells this good girl to, sit and stay
Outro
I don’t want no junkyard dog
You cause too many fights
Now you will never ever know
Sounds of lovin’ in the night
So long, junkyard dog
