C F
Young boy kneels on the ground by a dog whose day is done
C F
For fourteen years these two have lived like one
C F
But there comes a time when every old dog dies
C F
The boy knows he never should have let it take him by surprise
[Chorus]
G F
But he's leaving now that's what the old dog's eyes did say
G Am G
There are no words; the boy can use to make him stay
F D/F# C Am
'Cause in his heart he knows it ain't no use
G C F C F
He'll turn his head, then he'll turn him loose
[Verse]

Mama stands in the doorway where I lived for sixteen years
