That's My Barney Boy! [Intro – Spoken, playful country drawl] Well, folks, this here's Barney. He's almost ten, but don't tell him that. He's got a smile that lights up a room, And enough loose hair to fill a hat! [Verse 1] When Barney came around, he'd seen some bad days, He'd known too much hurt in his younger days. Then I walked in and gave him love, Now he's smiling like the sun up above! He's got a grin that brightens the room, A furry little sunshine that chases off gloom. He don't kiss everybody, he's a picky little guy, But he'll plant one on my nose when I'm walking by! [Pre-Chorus] He follows me left, he follows me right, My furry little shadow from morning till night! If I'm going camping, you can bet your last dime, Barney's right behind me every single time! [Chorus – Big, catchy, group sing-along] That's my Barney boy, strutting by my side, With a big ol' grin and a whole lot of pride! Where I go, he goes, through thick and thin, My four-legged shadow with a permanent grin! Hey, hey, Barney, you're my kind of guy! Hey, hey, Barney, my camping-side guy! He's my buddy, my pal, my best friend by far, The happiest dog underneath the stars! Barney boy! Barney boy! Everybody sing along! Barney boy! Barney boy! You're the star of this here song! [Verse 2] Barney's got a bark that's all his own, A one-of-a-kind sound nobody else could own! He sheds so much hair, it's a country snowstorm, There's enough on the couch to make a whole new form! When that food bowl comes out, he's ready to eat, You'd think he'd won the lottery getting his treat! He loves his bones, and here's the funny part, Sometimes he hides one like a secret agent at heart! [Pre-Chorus] He waits till nobody's looking around, Then sneaks off somewhere without making a sound. That bone's tucked away in a place out of sight, His own little treasure till the time feels right! [Chorus – Big, catchy, group sing-along] That's my Barney boy, strutting by my side, With a big ol' grin and a whole lot of pride! Where I go, he goes, through thick and thin, My four-legged shadow with a permanent grin! Hey, hey, Barney, you're my kind of guy! Hey, hey, Barney, my camping-side guy! He's my buddy, my pal, my best friend by far, The happiest dog underneath the stars! Barney boy! Barney boy! Everybody sing along! Barney boy! Barney boy! You're the star of this here song! [Verse 3] I roll my electric bike out the door, And Barney comes running like he's done it before! He races behind me, loving the ride, My four-legged roadie right there at my side! He marks every tree, every bush, every post, Like he's claiming the county from coast to coast! He lifts up his leg with a whole lot of pride, Even when that tank's run completely dry! [Verse 4 – Comedic delivery] Thunder rolls in and he knows something's wrong, Fireworks pop and he's gone before long! But grab that fly swatter and watch him take flight, That little old bug gives him quite a fright! He don't need a ball, he don't need a toy, Just a good chewy bone for my happy old boy. And when bedtime comes, he flips upside down, Legs straight up like the king of the town! [Bridge – Slower, warm and heartfelt] Sometimes I look at that smile on his face, And thank the good Lord he's found his place. He'd known too much hurt, he'd been through enough, Now he's got a home where he's safe and loved. Almost ten years old, still my shadow each day, Still wagging that tail when I come his way. If a dog's heart can heal and learn to trust again, Then Barney's my buddy, my family, my friend. [Breakdown – Spoken, playful country drawl] Now, cuddling with Barney is a wonderful thing... You scratch his head, hear his happy sigh, Then he rolls on his back with his legs to the sky! All four limbs sticking straight in the air, Like he pays the mortgage and owns this lair! But there's one more thing that'll rattle your bed, That boy snores loud enough to shake up your head! You think there's a freight train coming through, But it's just Barney snoring right next to you! [Final Chorus – Bigger, joyful, crowd singing] That's my Barney boy, strutting by my side, With a big ol' grin and a whole lot of pride! Where I go, he goes, through thick and thin, My four-legged shadow with a permanent grin! Hey, hey, Barney, you're my kind of guy! Hey, hey, Barney, my camping-side guy! He's my buddy, my pal, my best friend by far, The happiest dog underneath the stars! Barney boy! Barney boy! Everybody sing along! Barney boy! Barney boy! You're the star of this here song! [Outro – Crowd sing-along, playful] Barney boy! Barney boy! Give that tail a wag! Barney boy! Barney boy! Quit shedding on my bag! Hey, Barney! Who's my good boy? That's my Barney boy! [Spoken – Laughing] Good boy, Barney. Now where'd you hide that bone?
