Carter's Song

We still go down that same ol’ dirt road

Though his heart might not beat as fast

And he might not last as long as he used to

In a good ol’ game of fetch

And with that same ol’ sad puppy dog look

He’ll make sure he gets his way

I’d like to think that nothing’s changed

So I just help him up in the truck these days

Yeah the years of chasing rabbits, birds, and squirrels

They kept his spirit young

Now he hangs out a bit more on the front porch

And he walks a whole lot more than he runs

And in recent years he’s had to take a back seat

To our kids but his love remains

I’d like to think that nothing’s changed

So I just help him up in the truck these days

I just help him up in the truck these days

Lord knows after all these years

It’s a small price to pay

For the million times he’s wagged his tail

Aww let me tell you now, he’s lifted me up in so many ways

I’d like to think that nothing’s changed

So I just help him up in the truck these days

And I know that time takes its toll on pretty much everything

But I’m not ready to admit that his time here might soon be ending

So I just help him up in the truck these days

Lord knows after all these years

It’s a small price to pay

For the million times he’s wagged his tail

Aww I’ll tell you again now, he’s lifted me up just the same

I’d like to think that nothing’s changed

So I just help him up in the truck these days

I’d like to think that nothing’s changed

So I just help him up in the truck these days
