'Bury the dog' is slang for sex, so I reckon the title means "turn up, eat dinner, sleep with her and then leave right after", but I'm not sure what relevance this has to the lyrics of the song.
I think the "200 gallons ago" refers to the distance he's travelled the whole night: driving home from work, finding the flowers on the floor and going weak in the knees, and then maybe going to see someone after that.
I'm thinking maybe about a break-up? Like, he's been at work, got home and found "flowers on the floor", felt weak, admitted he's a fuck-up and is now calling someone...seems to me like his girlfriend has left him while he was out and now he's calling her. I dunno.
