Goodbye Danny Boy

[Intro] [Verse 1] You were small when I first found you, Hidin’ scared at that old feed store. Black and white, a little ball of f***t, I knew I couldn’t walk past that door. Brought you home to our first house, Me, my wife, my brother too. You filled those walls with bark and love, And life felt wild and new. [Chorus] Danny boy, my shadow, my friend, You’ve been with me through thick and thin. From college nights to drivin’ far, You rode shotgun in my old car. Now your body’s tired, your eyes grow dim, But I still see the light within. Run through the fields, chase dreams your way, Goodbye, Danny boy… I’ll see you someday. [Verse 2] You learned my moods, you read my tone, Always waited till I came home. Through every move, through every mile, You made each place worth the while. Holidays, old worn-out chairs, You were there for all of it, everywhere. From puppy heart to gray old face, You never once left your place. [Chorus] Danny boy, my shadow, my friend, You’ve been with me through thick and thin. From sunrise walks to storms at night, You stood your ground, you’d never bite. Now your paws are still, your tail don’t sway, But I’ll carry you every day. Run through the fields, chase dreams your way, Goodbye, Danny boy… I’ll see you someday. [Bridge] I see you run when you dream at night, Chasin’ something past the light. You grew old but never gone, Your spirit’s here, it just moved on. [Final Chorus] Danny boy, my shadow, my friend, From first hello to the very end. You taught me love that never fades, Through the darkest nights and brightest days. So run ahead, where skies stay blue, I’ll find that trail and follow you. Goodbye, Danny boy… I’ll see you soon. [Outro]
