lyrics

We ran more than a mile you and I
In the blizzard, the ice fog, and the soft snow of the spring
I was proud the day you put me on the lead
And I pulled hard, so hard
I didn’t want to disappoint

Since then I was the first, I was the one
I could take you anywhere
Jih or hah, just say the word

Now my hips are sore, my hair is old
My harness is worn out
It’s killing me to be alone in this yard… “til you come back

I’ll run again for you, if you just ask me to
I may be slow but I’ll still pull the line
If you just ask me to (3x)

I know you’re on your way when they bark
Sense is fade and the world is more stark
Only on the trail am I home
But you take the younger ones
And I’m left alone

A grey muzzle lifts to your hand
Hook up is complete and here I stand
Leaning on my chain
But I know next time it will be my turn right?
Like in the good old days, like in the good old days

I’ll run again for you, if you just ask me to
I may be slow but I’ll still pull the line
If you just ask me to (3x)
