I got a cat on a hot tin leash.

I got a dog in the pony show.

I got a hand me down pony from my cousin,

But let me tell you, he won't go.

My friends in town are eating meatballs.

I'm here eating beans,

Corn bread and fried potaters,

Contemplating things.

My friends in town are watching tv.

The jackpot movie is on.

They're wondrin what the po' folks is doing,

But I ain't worried none.

Cause I got a cat on a hot tin leash.

I got a dog in the pony show.

I got a hand me down pony from my cousin,

And I'm learnin that pony to go!

And when he gets to going,

We're gonna go somewhere!

We might even go to town,

But we'd come back, for sure.

Cause there's nowhere I'd rather be

Than right here in the country with you.
