Artist/Band: John Hiatt
Lyrics for Song: My Dog And Me
Lyrics for Album: Beneath The Gruff Exterior [2003]



She marked our trail up the back bone ridge

How many times can one dog pee

Keeps me high as an eagle when I'm on the skids

I guess you gotta come down eventually



Buddy, I coulda gone that extra mile

For an extra bark or an extra smile

'Cause I never felt so free

It was just my dog and me



Then she gives me that look like she'd lay down her life

No doubt she would in a minute, man

She'd face the bullet, oh, she'd face the knife

Just to keep my butt from the fryin' pan



Now she's runnin' up ahead to chase some deer

Comes back to tell me that coast is clear

It's a different world I see

When it's just my dog and me



And there's a rabbit on the run

Man and beast stand, sky and sun

Who's talking to the birds in the trees

Why it's just my dog and me



Now it looks like we've been makin' tracks

From the crack of dawn to the end of the day

So it's nice and easy down the devil's back

She wouldn't know any other way



Now it's over that ridge for one last mile

'Til we're fast asleep by the fire side

Dreamin' these dreams for free

Yeah, it's just my dog and me



I never felt so free

It's just my dog and me
