Det er lidt over et år siden, jeg mistede min bedste ven, gravhunden Bruno. Men han har ikke forladt mine tanker og min bevidsthed. Jeg skal blot lukke øjnene, så er han lige her… Og i dag vil jeg mindes ham med dagens sang af John Hiatt. Den hedder meget passende My Dog And Me og handler om, ja, gæt selv…
“My Dog And Me”
Up the back bone ridge
How many times can one dog pee
She keeps me high as an eagle
When i’m on the skids
I guess you gotta come down eventually[Chorus 1:]
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
[Chorus 2:]
Now she’s runnin’ up ahead to chase some deer
Comes back to tell that coast is clear
It’s a different world i see
When it’s just my dog and me
There’s a rabbit on the run
Man and beast ans sky and sun
Who’s talking to the birds in the trees
Why its 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 its nice and easy down the devil’s back
She wouldn’t know
Any other was
[Chorus 3:]
So its over that ridge for one last mile
‘Til we’re fast asleep by the fire side
Dreamin’ these dreams for free
Just my dog and me
