I Shot Your Dog Lyrics

Fred Eaglesmith - I Shot Your Dog
Well hello neighbor
I been meaning to talk to you
I been putting it off
It's something I gotta do
I been living with a secret
Been keeping me awake
There's just something I gotta say
I shot your dog
He was on my property
I thought he was a coyote on the run
I been missing some chickens
So I pulled the trigger
I feel so bad 'bout what I done
You don't have to say nothin'
I can tell how you feel
I'd feel the same
If it was me
I'm awfully sorry
If I could make it up to you
In any way tell me what to do
Gotta an old coon hound
If it'll make you feel better
She's comin' in next week
You get the pick of the litter
I feel so bad 'bout what I done
