She marked our trail up the back bone ridge   How many times can one dog pee   Keeps me high as an eagle when I'm on the skids   I guess you gotta come down eventually      Buddy, I coulda gone that extra mile   For an extra bark or an extra smile   'Cause I never felt so free   It was just my dog and me      Then she gives me that look like she'd lay down her life   No doubt she would in a minute, man   She'd face the bullet, oh, she'd face the knife   Just to keep my butt from the fryin' pan      Now she's runnin' up ahead to chase some deer   Comes back to tell me that coast is clear   It's a different world I see   When it's just my dog and me      And there's a rabbit on the run   Man and beast stand, sky and sun   Who's talking to the birds in the trees   Why it's just my dog and me      Now it looks like we've been makin' tracks   From the crack of dawn to the end of the day   So it's nice and easy down the devil's back   She wouldn't know any other way      Now it's over that ridge for one last mile   'Til we're fast asleep by the fire side   Dreamin' these dreams for free   Yeah, it's just my dog and me      I never felt so free   It's just my dog and me
