He never bit the mailman
Tail wagged slow like a fiddle's tune
A kind old soul, heart of gold
He knew the trees, he knew the breeze
Good dog, buried in the dirt
Good dog, your love didn't hurt
The world was yours, you kept it kind
Good dog forever, still in my mind
The cat would curl by his gentle side
The birds would sing, they'd never hide
Even the raccoon would stop and stare
He knew the stars, he healed the scars
Good dog, buried in the dirt
Good dog, your love didn't hurt
The world was yours, you kept it kind
Good dog forever, still in my mind
