One Hell of a Ride (Man's Best Friend) Lyrics

Your first ride home in my cousin's truck

Hiding you away, just pressin' my luck

I knew mom would say no, but I couldn't let go

Kept you a secret, layin' low

Scars on your face told tales untold

Mischief and fights, you were brave and bold

Through every battle, you stood by me

My closest kin, my family

Oh, man's best friend, more than just a name

Through every step, you played the game

Now the silence cuts like a sharpened blade

But your memory in my heart will never fade

You were there when I found my bride

Welcomed her home, stayed by our side

A sister you gained, a home we made

Through every moment, our bond stayed

You met my girls, watched them grow

Their tiny hands held you, time moved slow

Patient and kind, through joy and tears

Your love remained through all these years

Oh, man's best friend, more than just a name

Through every step, you played the game

Now the silence cuts like a sharpened blade

But your memory in my heart will never fade

It's hard to let go of the bond we shared

Your love runs deep, it's always there

Your ashes rest, but your spirit runs free

Forever in my heart, you'll always be

One hell of a ride, you gave it your all

From the early days, to the final call

All that's left are these memories and pictures

A tribute to you and all your adventures
