Man's Best Friend

This one's for my dogs

Listen up, here's a story we want to tell
Based on a topic that I know real well
Formed by relationships we have upheld
With our four-legged friends that wag the tail

Now if it seems simple, it is in fact
Comes without conditions or strings attached
Like an agreement, in other words a pact
To explain social order, call it a pack

It's not always clear who saved who
But to keep things even, it's called the rescue
One thing that matters and it's the truth
I know I got a friend in you

I love my dogs
They get me through when times are tough
I love my dogs
They stick with me no matter what
I love my dogs
Through thick and thin, until the end
I love my dogs
That's why they call them man's best friend

A two-way street, together we walk
I provide the talk, you come with the bark
Not like on a tree where you probably peed
But closer to the snout where I'm talking about

Clear communication is the key
To find the correct reciprocity
The line between guidance and pain, a curse
And it's not uncommon for a message to blur

What makes it special, tragically so
The time with us are short, then they have to go
To a place called The Rainbow Bridge
But that's just the story that we tell the kids

Truth is they are with us for our whole lifetime
Living on in our hearts and minds
Forever there where we keep them alive
And they're alive y'all

I love my dogs
They get me through when times are tough
I love my dogs
They stick with me no matter what
I love my dogs
Through thick and thin, until the end
I love my dogs
That's why they call them man's best friend

My dogs
They get me through when times are tough
I love my dogs
They stick with me no matter what
I love my dogs
Through thick and thin, until the end
I love my dogs
That's why they call them man's best friend

I love my dogs
They get me through when times are tough
I love my dogs
They stick with me no matter what
I love my dogs
Through thick and thin, until the end
I love my dogs
That's why we call them man's best friend

My dogs
They get me through when times are tough
I love my dogs
They stick with me no matter what
I love my dogs
Through thick and thin, until the end
I love my dogs
That's why we call them man's best friend

My dogs
