[Intro – Warm Acoustic Guitar, Light Harmonica] [Spoken – Bubba, smiling] Well, come on, Trigger. Let's go see what God's got waiting for us today. [Short Harmonica Riff] [Verse 1] Got my shoes on, sun's coming through Little white dog says, "I'm waiting on you!" He wags that tail, he's ready to roam Two old buddies leaving from home Down Crown Parkway, taking our time Little bit of heaven in the Carolina sunshine He smells every flower, every tree While I'm just learning how to be me [Chorus] Four paws and a peaceful heart Me and Trigger getting a brand-new start One step forward, let yesterday go There's a whole lot of beauty down this road Birds up singing, blue sky above Every little heartbeat is a gift of love Ain't chasing tomorrow, ain't running from hell Just me and Trigger, and all is well [Harmonica – Cheerful Walking Riff] [Verse 2] Down by Hampton Pond, we slow it down Watch the little ripples dancing around Trigger sees a squirrel and he's ready to fly I just stand there laughing at the beautiful sky Used to carry troubles everywhere I'd go Had a thousand things I thought I needed to know Now I let the questions come and disappear God gave me this moment, and I'm standing right here [Chorus] Four paws and a peaceful heart Me and Trigger getting a brand-new start One step forward, let yesterday go There's a whole lot of beauty down this road Birds up singing, blue sky above Every little heartbeat is a gift of love Ain't chasing tomorrow, ain't running from hell Just me and Trigger, and all is well [Instrumental – Acoustic Guitar and Harmonica] [Verse 3] Old Jessup Street, we're heading back home Trigger still thinks there's more world to roam He looks up at me with those bright little eyes Like he's got all the answers and ain't telling me why I'm sixty years old, but I'm learning today You don't have to fight every thought that comes your way You can forgive, you can loosen your hold Let the light of the Father shine into your soul [Bridge – Music Softens] I don't know how many miles I've got But I'm thankful, Lord, for the ones I've walked For every second chance, every breath I take For the morning sun and the day You made And this little dog beside my feet Reminds me that life can be simple and sweet [Harmonica – Gentle, Soulful Melody] [Final Chorus – Full Band, Joyful] Four paws and a peaceful heart Me and Trigger getting a brand-new start One step forward, let yesterday go There's a whole lot of beauty down this road Birds up singing, blue sky above Every little heartbeat is a gift of love Ain't chasing tomorrow, ain't running from hell Just me and Trigger, and all is well [Outro – Guitar and Harmonica] [Spoken – Bubba] Well, Trigger... I reckon we better get on home. But you know something, little buddy? I wouldn't trade this walk for all the money in the world. [Pause] Thank You, Father. [Final Harmonica Note] All is well. [End]
