Mud on the Paws (Banjo Mix)

[Verse 1] He waits by the gate Tail like a metronome Big head, soft eyes He knows this place is home When the world gets loud He plants those feet for me Like he was born to stand Between the storm and me [Pre-Chorus] He don’t ask why He just comes near One look from him And the fear disappears [Chorus] My American bulldog My true guard dog Heart full of gold Through the rain and the hard knocks My American bulldog He stays when I fall Absolute love The truest friend of all (My American bulldog) [Verse 2] Boots full of dirt And his nose on my hand He follows my shadow Like he understands A busted old day Turns light at my door One wag, one lean And I need less and less more [Pre-Chorus] He don’t judge me He don’t run He gives me his whole world Just for being the one [Chorus] My American bulldog My true guard dog Heart full of gold Through the rain and the hard knocks My American bulldog He stays when I fall Absolute love The truest friend of all (My American bulldog) [Bridge] If I’m broke down low He climbs right in Lays his heavy head On my shaking skin No words, no games Just that steady grace One loyal soul I can read his face [Final Chorus] My American bulldog My true guard dog Heart full of gold Through the rain and the hard knocks My American bulldog He stays when I fall Absolute love The truest friend of all My American bulldog My true guard dog He stands so tall The truest friend of all (My American bulldog)
