I was just a little pup, some seven years ago
And was taken from my mother, when I was only five weeks old
I was sold to a master who was mean and cruel to me
He'd beat me and he'd leave me in the cold or summer heat
Sometimes I had no water and my collar was too tight
My master tried to make me mean and mad enough to fight
If I couldn’t please him I guess I knew my fate
But still I never was the kind to want to kill or hate
Life there in his backyard was just so hard to bear
It was way down in the summer, with no shade anywhere
One day a young boy happened by, and saw where I was tied
He knelt, and gently rubbed my head, with big tears in his eyes
He saw my scars and bulging ribs, and knew I was in pain
He looked and saw no one around, so he unhooked my chain
He called for me to follow then we scampered down the street
To a house where he brought water, and all the food that I could eat
He took me in his house and lay a blanket by his bed
For the first time in my life I felt loved and truly fed
He sat down on his bed so I curled up at his feet
He leaned down and petted me, ‘til I drifted off to sleep
His momma came and saw me in the bad shape I was in
She said that I could stay and never feel unloved again
My new master hugged me, and I got a brand new name
Soon all my scars were healed and I no longer felt the pain
That young man who saved my life, and well, he never keeps me tied
At night I have a special place, sleeping by his side
Now I’m happy, and I guess there’s truth in what they say
That after all is said and done…..EVERY OLD DOG HAS HIS DAY!
This story will be included in Bobby's new CD Booklet to be printed very soon.
