Bandit was a black lab Daddy brought home he said “son, he’s yours from now on.” Bandit looked at me and he cocked his head slept that night on the foot of my bed all that year I can see him still chasing after me nippin’ at my heels down to the bus stop my new best friend still waitin’ right there when I got home again
and I thought we would be together go on and on just like that forever but I was young back then I guess I just didn’t know little boys grow up and dogs get old
he was my sidekick through thick and thin and he’d bark at my fish when I’d reel ’em in summers came and went and we grew like ****s and I don’t know if I raised him or he raised me
and I thought we would be together go on and on just like that forever but I was young back then how was I supposed to know? little boys grow up and dogs get old
he was fourteen when I left for Tennessee and we came down the front porch steps a little slower I got down to hug his neck said, you take care of mom and dad till I get home. be a good boy now, you be a good boy.
and I thought we would be together go on and on just like that forever but I was young back then oh, god I wish I didn’t know little boys grow up and dogs get old
