WE WORKED OUR FIRST TRACK TOGETHER
AND WE TREED OUR FIRST COON WITH ONE ANOTHER
WE WERE SO HAPPY WHEN MASTER SNAPPED ON OUR LEATHER
I WOULD RATHER BE RUN WITH NO OTHER

TOGETHER WE WERE A HECK OF A TEAM
THERE WAS NOTHING I LOVED MORE THAN THIS
WE WERE ALWAYS THERE EVEN WHEN WE WOULD DREAM
THAT IS WHAT I WILL MISS

LAST NIGHT WE WENT INTO THOSE WOODS
WE RAN COON AFTER COON
IF I COULD CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED LATER I WOULD
BUT IT ALL HAPPENED SO SOON

THROUGH THE CREEK, INTO THE FIELD, ACROSS THE ROAD
THEN FROM BEHIND ME I SAW LIGHT
THEN A SCREECHING SOUND THAT MADE ME LOOK BACK
IT WAS A BIG RIG WITH A FULL LOAD

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT I DON’T REALLY KNOW
THE TRUCK STOPPED BRIEFLY THEN LEFT
MASTER CAME NEXT TO THAT SPOT ON THE ROAD
HIS FOOTSTEPS WERE QUICK TILL FINALLY THEY SLOWED

HE SAT THERE NEXT TO YOU FOR A WHILE
I WATCHED HIM WIPE THE TEARS FROM HIS FACE
I NEVER SAW HIM DO ANYTHING BUT SMILE
TONIGHT THAT WASN’T THE CASE

I NUZZELED YOU A FEW TIMES TO WAKE YOU UP
YOU WOULDN’T MOVE
MASTER SAID COMMON’ OL GIRL WE BETTER GET TO THE TRUCK
HE GAVE ME A GENTLE PAT…. MAYBE TO SOOTHE

I WATCHED HIM CARRY YOU
YOUR HEAD HUNG DOWN AND YOUR TAIL DIDN’T WAG
AND I FELT SO BLUE
AS I SAW OUR MASTER COVER YOU

I COULDN’T EAT TODAY
COULDN’T SLEEP
I AM JUST TOO LONELY I WOULD SAY
WITHOUT YOU HERE FOR ME TO KEEP

MASTER BURIED YOU TODAY
I COULDN’T MOVE FROM WHERE YOU WERE
I OVERHEARD MASTER SAY
“I AM AFRAID SOON IT WILL BE HER”

WHAT IS THE WOODS WITHOUT YOU THERE
I DON’T THINK I COULD DO IT… DON’T THINK I WOULD CARE
I PROMISE I WILL BE WITH YOU SOON
SO THAT WE CAN ALWAYS BE TOGETHER TO CHASE THEM COON
