                        BARKIN' WITH THE BIG DOGS

A golden puppy chasin' butterflies
across a yard full of dandelions
Doesn't stop to wonder why
It comes naturally

He hears a howling from across the fence
Calls back with a 'yelp' at best
Doesn't know what he's up against
But can't wait to be

     Barkin' with the big dogs
     Makin' noise with the boys next door
     Talkin' that big talk
     Mixin' it up, not a pup anymore
     Barkin' with the big dogs

Little Jimmy, he's a three-year-old
Never seems to do like he's told
He's not bad, he's got a need to know
It's curiosity

Through the window, hears the kids at play
Wants to join 'em in their baseball game
But mama's got him stayin' in today
He can't wait to be

     Barkin' with the big dogs
     Makin' noise with the boys next door
     Talkin' that big talk
     Mixin' it up, not a pup anymore
     Barkin' with the big dogs

          Every puppy, every boy
          Anyone with a dream
          Gives it all they've got
          and can't wait to be

     Barkin' with the big dogs
     Makin' noise with the boys next door
     Talkin' that big talk
     Mixin' it up, not a pup anymore
     Barkin' with the big dogs
