Howlin’ at the Moon Lyrics

I know there′s never been a man in the awful shape I'm in
I can′t even spell my name, my heads in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak with a big ol' tablespoon
You got me chasin' rabbits, walkin′ on my hands
And howlin′ at the moon

Well sugar, I took one look at you
And it almost drove me mad
And then I even went and lost what little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night, I′m crazy as a loon
You got me chasin' rabbits, pullin′ out my hair
And howlin' at the moon

Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin′ spree
'Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state
That can hold a light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today, then tried to tree a coon
You got me chasin′ rabbits, scratchin′ fleas
And howlin' at the moon

I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass
I pulled ′im up and a-hollered "Whoa!" and said "Fill 'im up with gas"
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham! He changed my tune
You got me chasin′ rabbits, spittin' out teeth
And howlin′ at the moon

I never thought in this old world, a fool could fall so hard
But honey, baby, when I fell the whole world must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways, if you'd take me for your groom
You got me chasin′ rabbits, pickin′ out rings
And howlin' at the moon
