Below is a list of country songs comparing people (be it the singers or someone else) to dogs. I purposely left out any songs that speak of dogs such as 'Old Red' as that's not the purpose of this list. This list may be edited down the road from here if I come across any more songs. If anyone knows of any that fit the theme of this list please suggest them via the comments and I'll edit them in.
List:
Billy Ray Cyrus - Ain't Your Dog
Toby Keith - Every Dog Has Its Day (not official)
Billy Currington- Like My Dog (not official)

Country, a language onto it's own? Part 1
I don't have as much time as I'd like to really go into this right now, so this is going to be broken into a few short parts.
Eric Church- Drink in My Hand.
"I take my jacked up drop her down in 4x4" I've had this line in my head for a while, and I realized I was unconsciously singing it out loud. While I have Skype open.
Now not that bad of a thing, but I'm the only one that I know of on there that lives in the 'south' and as such probably the only one who's heard this song. Still not bad, but I do have to wonder, if any of them heard that line, would they actually understand it? I do, I'm sure a lot of people that listen to country music do. But other people?
"Chill down a long neck, warm up the band" A bit clearer, but again, it makes sense to me, but to others?
I could leave it here and not actually explain those lines, but I'll be nice.
"I take my jacked up drop her down in 4x4"- jacked up= pick up truck, one with those big tires so it's jacked up higher then normal; drop her down in 4x4= put it in 4 wheel drive.
"Chill down a long neck, warm up the band- Should be easy, cool off a beer, not going to explain 'warm up the band'
