Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry

{c: Verse 1:}

Let me tell y’all about the first time that I saw her

Down by the feed store after church

I never will forget the first time we met

For it is a favorite memory of mine

{c: Verse 2:}

She rode by my side through the Carolinas

All the way down the A1A

Never did a moment of whinin’

When we got back home I knew that she would stay

{c: Bridge}

For as long as I’m alive

Don’t think that ain’t will find

A better friend for me than her

{c: Chorus}

If I had the same luck with women

As I do Pickin’ Dogs

I’d never have my heart broke again

For the rest of my life there by my side

Would be my love and my best friend

If I had the same luck with women

As I do Pickin’ Dogs…. 

{c: Verse 3:}

I’ve know love more often than most men

And had my heart broke as many times

There’s a door to my heart that can’t be open

But sad ole songs still can make me cry

{c: Verse 4:}

All the men at the barbershop will be sure to tell you

A good dog is a rare thing to find

Get ‘em young, straight from their momma

Treat ‘em good and they’ll be your friend for life

{c: Bridge}

For as long as I’m alive

Don’t think that ain’t will find

A better friend for me than her

{c: Chorus}

If I had the same luck with women

As I do Pickin’ Dogs

I’d never have my heart broke again

For the rest of my life there by my side

Would be my love and my best friend

If I had the same luck with women

As I do Pickin’ Dogs…
