She marked our trail
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.

But 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 frying pan.

Now she's running 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 and 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 making 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 way.


So it's over that ridge for one last mile.
Then we're fast asleep by the fire side.
Dreaming these dreams for free,
Yeah it's just my dog and me.
I never felt so free,
It was just my dog and me.
