Lyrics

Dog Door

Well, she's as mean as a needle

Don't get too close to the heater

She's like a mean shopkeeper

Who got an extra gun

She's about 6'4" and she's a wrecking ball

Now go ahead and kiss her

She brought the bad weather with her

She got you coming through the dog door

She got you coming through the dog door

Now pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered

You oughtta walk away

Well, you can't, but you oughtta

Climb the rickety stairs

She got the long black hair

But don't sit there

Electricity chair

She got you coming through the dog door

She got you coming through the dog door

Pitchfork

Claw hammer

Hot tar

She got me coming through the dog door

Hot tar (Hot tar)

She's got ruin in her name

But she can make it rain

She's a small-town jail

And she's starving in the belly of a whale

She got me coming through the dog door

She got me coming through the dog door

Pitchfork (Pitchfork)
