BrittonJack's "Dog House"

I never should have turned my head to see some other lovely thing
walking pretty down the street
'Cause just about that time my girl she realized
and caught my eyes and busted me

Now I'm back out in this bed I made face down in the dirt
Beggin' to get my baby back, you'd think I would have learned

But it's just another day in the doghouse
I better change my ways and my wondering eyes
Just another day in the doghouse
Thinkin' this is prob'ly where this dog is gonna die

I stumbled in at 3am said "baby I've been out with friends...
"least that's what I remember"
Then the truth came to both of us when she found the number crumpled up
in the pocket of my t-shirt

Now I'm back out in the yard, sad and all alone
If you find forgiveness in your heart, just throw this boy a bone

But it's just another day in the doghouse
I better change my ways and my wondering eyes
Just another day in the doghouse
Thinkin' this is prob'ly where this dog is gonna die

Now I'm back out in this bed I made face down in the dirt
Beggin' to get my baby back, you'd think I would have learned

But it's just another day in the doghouse
I better change my ways and my wondering eyes
Just another day in the doghouse
Thinkin' this is prob'ly where this dog is gonna die

Just another day in the doghouse

SIDEBAR: BrittonJack's "Dog House" was recorded and released by Lonestar on their Coming Home album. Lead singer Richie McDonald made some changes to the lyrics which he felt made the song more appropriate for him.

Some interesting facts about "Doghouse" or "Dog House" from Wikipedia:

• A doghouse (chiefly in American English) or a kennel is a small shed, often built in the shape of a little house, in which a dog is kept or can run into for shelter from the elements.

• The expression "in the doghouse" means to be in trouble; often used of a husband who is figuratively sent to the doghouse in the same way that a dog is removed from the human habitation. This is the principal usage of the two word expression dog house in British English, where kennel is used for the other sense.

• An upright bass violin is often called a doghouse, especially by jazz or bluegrass musicians.

• Snoopy's doghouse played a large role in the comic Peanuts.

• In architecture, doghouse is more commonly a builder/contractor term for a dormer. The name is derived from the appearance of improperly proportioned dormers, which do resemble dog houses. Properly proportioned dormers should neatly fit to the window it is meant to frame—a common mistake is to undersize the windows or oversize the dormer, which necessitates the use of siding or other infill material, in which case the structure should be treated as a gable end. Some architects use the word "doghouse" in a derrogatory manner to indicate an ignorance of "honest" building practices, often found in low-cost residential and light commercial, developer-built structures.

Doghouse Records is a Toledo, Ohio based record label, now run out of the New York City office. Since 2004 Doghouse has been a part of the Warner Music Group.

The label was started in 1988 by Dirk Hemsath as an imprint, releasing early recordings of his band Majority of One. The next 10 years saw such heralded underground vinyl releases by Endpoint, Transcend and Split Lip, then pioneering records by The Get Up Kids, Hot Water Music and As Friends Rust. In the early 2000s, Doghouse signed their first big success, The All-American Rejects, releasing their debut LP in late 2002 (later picked up by Dreamworks -- then Interscope Records). Say Anything and Army of Me were later signed by Doghouse and picked up by major labels J Records and Atlantic Records respectively.
