[Verse 1] Bo hollered, "Daisy, waitโ€”" but I was already gone Grabbed his keys up off the counter, walked out mid-storm Money's tight, car's broke down, same old fight again Threw his old cap on to hide the mess under it Mascara cuttin' trails down my cheeks, done pushin' my luck let that screen door slam, and climbed up in his old truck [Verse 2] Pointed north for Tennessee, white lines pullin' me home Thinkin' back on years gone by, wonderin' where it went wrong Thought I could tame a stubborn man, lazy to the end (pause.. scoff) (surprised)Forgot that busted window's just how Buck gets in Then a whimper from the back seat, stirrin' from his sleep Ol' Buck lifted up his head, scared me outta my feet [Chorus] Buck, sleepy-eyed, lifts his head from the back Born on Bo's family farm, guess we're headed back Bo never visits his mama, so here's what I'll do If that man wants you back, he can go see her too [Verse 3] Buck was there through every bad night, curled up by my feet Only one who'd stay up with me when Bo was fast asleep Muddy paws up on the sofa, tail thumpin' out a beat In the heat of goin', never thought about who I'd leave He'd wait by the front door every time I'd pull back in Guess loyalty looks different on four legs than it does on him [Chorus] Buck, sleepy-eyed, lifts his head from the back Born on Bo's family farm, and boy, we're headed back Bo never visits his mama โ€” guess neither one of us did If that man wants you back, he can go see her, then [Spoken] Oh โ€” Buck! You scared me half to death, boy. Didn't even know you were back there. I'm sorry, but I can't go back to him. ...Hold on. Let me turn this thing around. I got a better idea. [Bridge] Pulled up that gravel driveway, porch light still turned on Same one that watched him take his first steps, before he was gone His mama's got a new litter now, four pups, all boys Buck's curious nose went face to face, checkin' out the noise Bo's mama laughed and said, "well now, Daisy, look at that โ€” Used to have just one Buck... now I got myself a stack" [Final Chorus] Go on, Buck, you're back where it all began Born on this family farm, in your mama's hands Nobody ever brought you home โ€” well, tonight I did So go on and be a good boy, Buck... I'll miss you, kid
