Mans Best Friend Lyrics

When I was three, my daddy brought me back home

A little puppy, and that was the greatest

He would sleep next to me and scare away the monsters

That I thought were hiding in the basement

How come nobody told me that you would get older

And stop running around like you used to

Now I'm stuck here missing you

I think all dogs really should go to heaven

So that maybe one day I can see you again

And I guess that old, old saying

Was so, so true

Cause now I think dog really is a man's best friend

When I get older, I swear that I'll never

Get attached to another puppy dog like that

Then my girlfriend came home and she showed me a picture

Of the cutest dang thing I've ever seen

And then I said, you know she'll get older

And stop running around like the day she does

When we bring her home

But then I took a deep breath and said, here we go

I think all dogs really should go to heaven

So that maybe one day I can see you again

And I guess that old, old saying

Was so, so true

Cause now I think dog really is a man's best friend

What will I say to my little boy

When he sees that you're slowing down

Can we trade this goodbye for a see you later

I hope all dogs really do go to heaven

So that one day I really see you again

Yeah

Guess that old saying

Was so, so true

Now I think dog really is a man's best friend

Cause now I think dog really is a man's best friend
