I'm trying to think of a country song that was out 10-15 years ago. I think the group split up. In the song it says BJ was a good dog or something like that. I'm so close to thinking of the group but right now my mind is blank. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The only one I can think of is Feed Jake by Sawyer Brown. It goes something like "Feed Jake, he's been a good dog" . Hope this helps.

Edit. Listening to it now. I think the group might still be together but the lead singer had cancer and they didn't play for a number of years.

If I die before I wake, feed jake? I recall that.

Right off hand I can just think of the america pie song or song of the south.

Feed Jake : Pirates Of The Mississippi

I'm standing at the crossroads in life...
And I don't know which way to go...
You know you've got my heart, babe...
But my music's got my soul...
Let me play it one more time...
I'll tell the truth and make it rhyme...
And hope they understand me...

Now I lay me down to sleep...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
If I die before I wake... feed Jake...
He's been a good dog...
My best friend right through it all...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...

Now Broadway's like a sewer...
Bums and hookers everywhere...
Wino passed out on the sidewalk...
Doesn't anybody care?
Some say he's worthless, just let him be...
I for one would have to disagree...
And so would their mommas...

Now I lay me down to sleep...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
And if I die before I wake...feed Jake...
He's been a good dog...
My best friend right through it all...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...

Now, if you get an ear pierced...
Some will call you gay...
But if you drive a pickup...
They say, no, you must be straight...
What we are and what we ain't...
What we can and what we can't...
Doesn't really matter...

Now I lay me down to sleep...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
And if I die before I wake...feed Jake...
He's been a good dog...
My best friend right through it all...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...

This song was out when i was in highschool and I've always liked it. I just couldn't remember who sang it. It's been along time since I've heard it. Thanks eveyone.
