Title: My Daddy Is a Dog Killer Verse 1 I was headed off, didn’t matter where, Church camp, rehab, Army, Navy, Air. One thing only crossed my mind, “Please don’t leave my best friend behind.” You looked me squarely in the eye, Said, “Son, he’ll be just fine.” But promises can disappear… Quicker than a dog’s last year. Chorus My daddy is a dog killer. Lord, that truth still hurts. Little Baby Billy Didn’t deserve the dirt. You could’ve found a shelter, You could’ve made one call. But you broke your word… that’s the hardest part of all. ⸻ Verse 2 Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy, Pain in everybody’s rear. Chewed a shoe, barked all night, Thought every squirrel picked a fight Then I came back months gone by, Healing up and wondering why. I reached the yard expecting him… Only silence answered in. ⸻ Bridge People say, “It was just a dog.” They never knew What that dog pulled me through. When life was dark, teenage dark He never lied. When life was dark, breakup dark He huddled near He was waiting… Every single time. Like mom With a hug ⸻ Final Chorus Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy My daddy is a dog killer. Still love the man somehow. But some scars don’t disappear Like good riddance exes in the rear Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy Little Baby Billy, Wish you’d had one more day. Funny how the hardest ghosts… Never fully bark away.
