Underneath the rising sun’s glow
We’re just shadows that come and shadows that go
Yeah that’s my best friend
With a sickness takin’ hold
Just a few weeks deep
And now he’s movin’ so slow
God knows it’s too early to be your time to go
Chorus
One last trick one more try
Even though his time is flyin’ by
I see determination in his eyes
Oh and there’s no denyin’ that
You’ll make me proud
Like you always do
You’re my boy
Lord knows it’s true
So
Just one last trick one more try
One last kiss, one last ride
Our last ride
Always there when I was down
Kept me smilin’
Doin’ my best not to drown
Cause now it’s my turn to help him out
Through his final days of pain
No more parks
No more playin’
Bridge
His paws are weary
But his heart’s still true
Ol’ boy can’t chase a ball like he used to
And with every breath
He keeps showin’ me
What it means to be so loyal, proud and at peace
Chorus
One last trick one more try
Even though his time is flyin’ by
I can see determination in those eyes
And there’s no denyin’
You’ll make me proud
Like you always do
You’re my boy
Lord knows it’s true
Just
One last trick one more try
Even though his time is flyin’ by
That’s determination in his eyes
And there’s no denyin’
You’ll make me proud
Like you always do
Oh, you always do
You’re my boy Lord knows it’s true
So
Just one last trick one more try
One last kiss, one last ride
Our last ride
Outro
Looks like the sun’s about to set
By your side till the final breath
You are my heart
And my best friend
And I know you’ll find your way home
Like all good shepherds do
All good shepherds do
