Doghouse (song)

"Doghouse" is a song written by Jerry Chesnut and performed by American country music artist Mel Tillis. It was released in 1978 as the second single from his album I Believe in You. The song reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and number 5 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.

The song is a lighthearted take on marital conflict, using the metaphor of the "doghouse" to represent being in disfavor with one's spouse. The lyrics describe the singer's humorous predicament of being temporarily banished from the marital bed due to a disagreement, and his desire to reconcile with his wife to regain his place in her good graces.
