We used to love drinkin' beer
Out on the front porch steps
We did everything together
Whole lotta nothin' now and then
My best friend, my right hand man
Was always there when I called
The only reason for him leavin'
Makes any sense at all is
God must've needed a good dog
Just like I did
Someone sittin' shotgun to ride
Down streets of gold with
Lay around and listen
To me wishin' he wasn't gone
But I ain't mad
I can't blame the Man at all
God must've needed a good dog
I guess He needed a fishin' buddy
Best damn one I had
Or maybe He needed a little company
Pray one day I'll get to ask
And I know it's a better place
But I won't say I don't miss him
I can just see him now runnin' through those gates
Knowin' why the Good Lord picked him
'Cause
God must've needed a good dog
Just like I did
Someone sittin' shotgun to ride
Down streets of gold with
Lay around and listen
To me wishin' he wasn't gone
But I ain't mad
I can't blame the Man at all
God must've needed a good dog
Must've needed a damn good dog
And I know that he's in good hands
Until I see him again
Yea I'll see ya again
But until then
God must've needed a good dog
Just like I did
Someone sittin' shotgun to ride
Down streets of gold with
Lay around and listen
To me wishin' he wasn't gone
But I ain't mad
I can't blame the Man at all
No I ain't mad I can't blame the Man at all
God must've needed a good dog
He must've needed a damn good dog
