00:00Whart, whart, whart, whart, whart, whart, whart, whart, whart, whart, whart, whart.
00:12Thick black shadow on the porch at dawn, but on his paws in his heart too warm.
00:18I was born a drifter with a busted truck, but that dog taught me how to settle down.
00:24He came from the harbor cold and wet
00:28Salt on his coat was nowhere else to get
00:31I threw him the last of my canned stew
00:34Next morning he was loyal through and through
00:38Sixty pounds of newfound land
00:41Had been through a world I couldn't stand
00:44Big dog walking slow beside me
00:48Ride back big enough to ride
00:51When the river rose and the banks gave way
00:54He was the only one who'd stay
00:57Down where the tall grass meets the tide
01:01The good dog keeps me satisfied
01:08He'd drag a rope and he'd drag me down
01:11Pull a drowning man from the shallows out
01:15Never met a stranger he'd turn away
01:18Just a wet nose and a tail that sways
01:21All in timber from the falling pine
01:24Shoulders built another kind of line
01:28I ran from every town I left
01:31But a good heart never once left well
01:34Sixty pounds of newfound land
01:37Patient as a driftwood on the sand
01:41Big dog walking slow beside me
01:45Wide back big enough to ride
01:47When the storm rolled in and the sky turned gray
01:51He was the only one who'd stay
01:54Down where the tall grass meets the tide
01:57The good dog keeps me satisfied
02:05In the sky
02:09guitar solo
02:20guitar solo
02:30Mama warned me about lonely roads
02:34About whiskey bottles and heavy loads
02:37But this shaggy friend in the morning light
02:40Turns a cold dark night into something right
02:43Big dog walking slow beside me
02:48Wide back big enough to ride
02:50When my heart got heavy and my hands got free
02:54He was the only one to stay
02:57Down where the tall grass meets the tide
03:00Good dog keeps me satisfied
03:06Yeah, that good dog
03:09That good dog keeps me satisfied
03:44Yeah, that good dog
03:46Yeah!
