00:18Mama said she'd never get another dog
00:21After old Hank passed back in 93
00:24But a pup came crawling off the county road
00:27With mud on his paws and his eyes on me
00:31I named him Lassie though he wasn't a herd
00:34Just a collie boy with a crooked smile
00:37He'd heard the chickens when they wandered off
00:41And barked out thunder for a country mile
00:44The dark new secrets that I never said
00:48He'd lean on my boots when the nights got long
00:51Followed me down to the river bed
00:54I'm in songs I could never sing along
00:58I'm a collie boy who ran with the wind
01:01Chased some five flies till the sun came in
01:04You'd bring me the paper and you'd find my keys
01:11Now you're running past us where the clover's free
01:14So drink your water from the creek of gold
01:17My collie boy he'll never get it old
01:33Riding the truck with his head out the glass
01:36Ears flapping wild like a summer flag
01:39Stood by my side at the funeral too
01:43And I buried daddy in his sunny clothes
01:46The dark new grief before I knew the word
01:48He'd press his cold nose to my burning cheek
01:53Stay right there till the morning light
01:56Whimper soft when I couldn't speak
01:59The dark kept secrets that I never told
02:03He'd carry the bird and never complain
02:07Watched every sunrise as we both grew old
02:10Now I'm standing here calling me your name
02:13Oh my collie boy you ran with the wind
02:16Chased some five flies till the sun came in
02:19You'd bring me the paper and you'd find my keys
02:26Now you're running past us where the clover's free
02:29So drink your water from the creek of gold
02:33My collie boy he'll never get it old
02:36Still leave the porch light on at night
02:39Still say you were spied on the kitchen floor
02:44Still whisper your name when the moon gets cracked
02:47Wonder if you're barking at some other door
02:50Oh my collie boy you ran with the wind
02:53Chasing five flies till the sun came in
02:57You'd bring me the paper and you'd find my keys
03:03And now you're running past us where the clover's free
03:06So drink your water from the creek of gold
03:10My collie boy you'll never get old
03:13My collie boy you'll never get old
03:19My collie boy you'll never get old
03:21My collie boy you'll never get old
03:21My collie boy you'll never get old
03:21My collie boy you'll never get old
03:21My collie boy you'll never get old
03:27My collie boy you'll never get old
03:28My collie boy you'll never get old
03:31My collie boy you'll never get old
03:32My collie boy you'll never get old
03:36My collie boy you'll never get old
03:38My collie boy you'll never get old
03:38My collie boy you'll never get old
03:38My collie boy you'll never get old
03:39My collie boy you'll never get old
03:39My collie boy you'll never get old
03:40My collie boy you'll never get old
03:41My collie boy you'll never get old
03:42My collie boy you'll never get old
