Trig - By the Time That You Read This I'll Be Talking With God

Late Thursday Evening
Just about ten
Check in the driveway
I'm lonely again
Work's done at five
Guess you're out with a friend
There's a note on the pillow
And here's what it said

By the time that you read this I'll be talking with God
Took Trig to the shelter to find a home filled with love
He cried like a baby when I walked away
But if they can't put him nowhere he'll be here in ten days

She wasn't perfect
But she's all I had
I called every hospital
Called her new man
For eight days I drank myself into the ground
Late Monday evening
They called from the pound

They said are you sure
You want sweet Trig put down
He's a really good boy
But no one's come around
I can keep him alive
'Til the end of the day
I said don't close the shelter
I'm on the way

A week's worth of drinkin'
Had hid all my keys
I prayed to Saint Tony
I fell to my knees
Two minutes later on Route 64
Those train lights turned red
Put my foot on the floor
I didn't hear nothin'
But that train's engine roar

When my eyes opened
The sun on my face
The sound of a choir
Singing amazing grace
My Trigger beside me
His paw in my hand
A feelin' come on me
Like waves on the sand

It felt just like heaven
But she wasn't there
Just me and Trigger
No more earthly cares

By the time that you hear this I'll be talking with God
Me and ol' Trig will be out chasing frogs
We'll sleep until noon and I won't get a job
And we'll never be lonely, just me and my dog
