My Dog And Me John Hiatt

She marked our trail
Up the back bone ridge
How many times can one dog pee
She 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 that coast is clear
It's a different world I see
When it's just my dog and me

There's a rabbit on the run
Man and beast ans sky and sun
Who's talking to the birds in the trees
Why its just my dog and me
