Lyrics That Dog Won't Hunt - Mike Bryant

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
