My Good Boy and Me

Sun-faded collar on your neck Gray on your muzzle, mud on the deck You used to beat me to that old oak tree Now you walk slow, right next to me My good boy and me Out on this porch swing, watchin' the fields sway in the wind You’ve always been a loyal friend Stayed by my side from start to end I know you’re gettin’ old I know your life’s gettin’ slow So rest beside me Till Heaven calls you home You heard my secrets through the years Licked every heartbreak off my tears You’d curl up quiet by my boots Like you always understood the truth My good boy and me Out on this porch swing, watchin' the fields sway in the wind You’ve always been a loyal friend Stayed by my side from start to end I know you’re gettin’ old I know your life’s gettin’ slow So rest beside me Till Heaven calls you home When that gate swings open wide If you run ahead to the other side Save me a place in some green shade tree Where it’s just my good boy and me (oh oh) My good boy and me Out on this porch swing, watchin' the fields sway in the wind You’ve always been a loyal friend Stayed by my side from start to end I know you’re gettin’ old I know your life’s gettin’ slow So lay your head right here You won’t walk that road alone Just rest beside me Till Heaven calls you home
