In Dog's Country is a musical about two dogs, a cat, a squirrel, and The Man. This song is between the younger, more innocent dog, Jake, and the more jaded, older dog Mal, sung by Ruth Keating Lockwood.
Jake:
I'm just a dog without any plan
Domesticated, taken care of, by The Man
Mal:
I'm a dog too, but I've got a plan
Gotta break from these chains
And maybe break the back of The Man
Jake:
I'm just a fool, I love my old man
Wherever he goes, I'll go there too
Mal:
Noooo... I ain't no fool
No slave to The Man
It's make or break for me
And the rules of The Man
HOWL CHORUS:
Jake:
There goes my man
He does what he can
I'll be his friend till the end
Mal:
I'm your true friend
What friend is The Man
Who keeps animals captive:
Cold, alone, and untended
HOWL CHORUS
