DUSTY

Lời bài hát

[Intro - soft guitar, rain] Hey, bud I came by again today Yeah [Verse 1] Six weeks old in a mud puddle under the porch Tiny little shakin' thing, I ain't know what for Scooped you up in my hands, you was cold and small Didn't know that day you'd be the one to save us all Gray patch on your head like a crown you wore Amber eyes always waitin' by the door I was high, I was low, I was losin' my mind You just curled up next to me like everything was fine [Pre-Chorus] And I keep replayin' that day Wish I coulda made you stay [Chorus] Every day I walk past your grave Tell you I'm sorry that I couldn't save you I pulled you from the mud, but I couldn't pull you through Brother, I'd trade my place for you They be laughin', say "it's just a cat" But you was my brother, you was all that I had Dusty, Dusty, I'm sorry I'm still sorry [Verse 2] Guilt sit on my chest like you used to at night Only now it's heavy and it don't feel right I keep askin' God, "Why'd you take my friend?" Should've seen it comin', should've been there in the end People talkin' behind me, they don't understand You was family, you was blood, you was my right hand Your bowl still sittin' in the corner of the room I can't put it up, I ain't ready to move [Pre-Chorus] And I keep replayin' that day Wish I coulda made you stay [Chorus] Every day I walk past your grave Tell you I'm sorry that I couldn't save you I pulled you from the mud, but I couldn't pull you through Brother, I'd trade my place for you They be laughin', say "it's just a cat" But you was my brother, you was all that I had Dusty, Dusty, I'm sorry I'm still sorry [Bridge - just guitar, half-whispered] If you can hear me, I hope you're runnin' free Chasin' sunlight, no more pain, no more need And when it's my time, I know you'll be waitin' by I pulled you from the mud, now you pull me to the sky [Final Chorus - layered, emotional] Every day I walk past your grave Tell you I'm sorry that I couldn't save you But I know you'd want me to stay So I'ma live for you every day They can laugh, say "it's just a cat" But you was my brother, and I'm proud of that Dusty, Dusty, I love you I still love you [Outro - fading, rain] Rest easy, bud I'll see you again
