Love a good dog song!  I enjoyed feeling the passage of time through the age and experiences shared with the dog, I can surely relate.  And my wife said she likes your voice smile

Thanks for your kind words Johnny…  I’m glad you liked the song…  that’s not me singing though… that’s Adam Cunningham… one of my favorite demo singers!
Thanks again….

That Old Grey Dog and...

That Old Grey Dog and Me Words and music (c) Jim Karns

I take that old grey dog
up our favorite hill
we dont hunt no more probably never will
I got a stick now that I carry I set aside my gun
and he just walks along beside me
cause he cant run

Hey old boy
when you look at me that way
Its gonna break my heart
more than I can say
So we’ll look back on the good times
when you were runnin free…
always gonna think about
that old grey dog and me

TURNAROUD

BRIDGE I know all good things must end
but Lord it's hard to say goodbye
to my best friend

Today I left that old grey dog
on our favorite hill
Never cried so hard
I’m cryin still
the whisper in the trees had said
you ain’t wrong for what you done
Cause he can walk again you should see him run

Hey old boy
when you looked at me that way
you broke my heart
more than I can say
So I’ll look back on the good times
when you were runnin free…
I’m always gonna think about
that old grey dog and me
2nd BRIDGE
I know all good things must end
but Lord it's hard to say goodbye
to my best friend…
I’m always gonna think about
that old grey dog and me
END
