This old Dog

I ran in the prairie, chased a few rabbits too
The sunshine on my back, as I slept on the porch
Oh the rides in the trk, were the best
Me with my head hanging out the window
My nose going crazy with all the smells
My belly was always full, never without water
Always taken care of, this I knew
I had my run - in's with skunks, a porcupine or two
The deer and cattle, forget about that, to fast for me
So I would let out a bark, that was me, that's who
My favorite part of life, was home
All cozy and warm
Always a pet or scratch, plus a few words
Oh how I loved that so
I'm getting old now, no running no more
Just to sit in the sun, that's enough for me
It's time for me to go, I see the sun setting now
Thank you all, for making my life so good
I hope I leave good memories for you all, as I take some with me too
Someone will be there waiting for me, I know who
I missed his talks, the way he scratched my belly
The sun is setting, so off I go
Don't worry, don't worry
I see your eyes are blurry, from tears of sorrow
Think of me in your dreams
Remember there are lots of tomorrows, for memories to share
Let me lay on the porch, one last time
With the sun on my back and the warmth feeling so good
As I drift off to slept, to dream the dreams of lasting love....
