In the blue light of morning, we’d go out walking
That cold dawn air sweet in our lungs
We’d go around the neighborhood
And when we’d get home, I’d take your collar off and scratch you real good
When I’d open the door after a long day of working
You were always the first one I’d see
And I’d kneel down and ask you for a hug
And you’d jump right on up and put your paws around me
You and I, we had something special
You and I didn’t need no words
You were my best friend and companion
And I’m gonna miss you, Ruby girl
On those easy days we’d sit out on the front porch together
You’d sniff the air and I’d smoke my pipe
And we’d just sit listening, and I’d stroke your fur
And you’d look up at me with those big brown eyes
You and I, we had something special
You and I didn’t need no words
You were my best friend and companion
And I’m gonna miss you, Ruby girl
Now and then, we’d head out for the mountains
Find peace among the sagebrush and desert grass
Just the two of us alone, off on some trail
That’s the way that I’ll remember you best
Went for a walk this morning
Left your collar in the closet
Couldn’t help but have tears my eyes
Had to say goodbye without any warning
But I know you’re with me, always walking by my side
You and I, we had something special
You and I didn’t need no words
You were my best friend and companion
And I’m gonna miss you, Ruby girl
