Dusty, Dozer, and Grandpa

VERSE 1
G                  Bm           C                GLying there on the front porch with his head in his paws
Em               G                C                    GSat the dog whose name was Dusty who lived there at my grandpa's
            G               Bm      C                             GI said, “Grandpa he must be a good one waiting for you, chewing on his bone”
Em                     G                            C                     GGrandpa said, “Well, to tell you the truth sometimes I wish he'd just leave me alone”
         G               Bm            C                    DWith your grandma gone its just me and him but he sure ain't the best
Em                    G                    C                  GSure he'll catch every stick that I throw but sometimes he's just a pest
  G                       Bm            C                GWe had a dog that we called Dozer cause he rooted through the dirt
Em                    G                 C                         GThat night he wandered up so hungry eating cracked corn set out for the birds

CHORUS
        C                        GWell you can't replace your best buddies
    C                     DSo be good to them while you can
    Em                       GAnd if you don't show it that lump in  your throat
C               D            GReminds you, you miss your best friends

VERSE 2
He used to run beside my tractor play with the kids in the yard
He'd catch every stick and kill every snake and tree every coon on the farm
Like all dogs Dozer got older and his playing days came to an end
He'd whimper with every step that he took, it hurt to see the suffering of my friend
So I hauled him up to the pasture where he played years ago
I patted his head, said, “I'll miss you my friend” and I sent him to where the good dogs go

VERSE 3
Well Grandpa, he met up with Grandma the morning he passed away
Dusty sat all day on the porch waiting for Grandpa to come out and play
It was evening before we knew, I got there late in the day
Dusty watched as that ambulance hauled his best friend away
