CHORUS 
’Cause there ain’t nothin’ like a Labrador’s love, It’s heaven sent and built from above. Through every storm, through every fight, They curled up close and kept me right. When the world turned cold, they stayed warm and true— Chesty and Brutus, I owe my heart to you. Yeah, life gets hard, but I still stand… With two black labs – they’re my best friends.

VERSE 2 
They’ve seen me break, they’ve seen me bend, They’ve seen the nights I didn’t think I’d mend. But they’d nudge my hand like, “Dad, we’re here,” And somehow the darkness disappeared. They don’t judge the past, don’t care ’bout scars, They just follow me like I hung the stars. And when the world felt heavy, when I couldn’t breathe, Those two black labs never once thought of leavin’ me.

HOOK
 If loyalty had a heartbeat, If grace had four paws… It’d look like two black labs Who love without a cause.

VERSE 3 
One day they’ll run ahead of me across that rainbow sky, And I’ll whisper, “Boys, I’ll see you soon,” but not a tear will dry. ’Cause I know where they’re goin’, and I know who waits for me— Two tails waggin’ at the gates of eternity. And when I cross that bridge myself, I know what I’ll find: A river wide for swimmin’, a field for runnin’ blind, A heaven built for fetchin’, diggin’, chewin’ bones in sand… And two black labs who never left this old man.

CHORUS (FINAL)
 ’Cause there ain’t nothin’ like a Labrador’s love, It’s heaven sent and built from above. Through every storm, through every fight, They curled up close and kept me right. When the world turned cold, they stayed warm and true— Chesty and Brutus, I owe my heart to you. Yeah, life gets hard, but I still stand… With two black labs – they’re my best friends.

OUTRO 
So here’s to the brothers born June twenty sixteen, The best damn souls this world has ever seen. My refuge, my strength, my God given plan… Two black labs – they’re my best friends.

VERSE 1 They came into this world on a warm June day, Two little brothers made of sunshine and clay. Chesty with the courage, Brutus with the smile, Two black lab blessings sent to walk with me awhile. Tiny paws on hardwood, chasin’ dreams around the floor, Didn’t know back then what they’d carry me through and more. But God knew I’d need somethin’ strong when life got out of hand… So He sent me two black labs, And they made me a better man.
