He got hit by a car, in the middle of the road
It happened late at night; when i was far away from home
A call came from my mother, she said boy you sittin' down?

Just me and your brother; we put him in a wagon, your father wasn't there, ain't no way to save him; screechin tires and a flashin light didn't help that he was as dark as night.

Aint no blood, aint no broken bones and the sound was the only clue,
Never loved that dog as much as i loved you.

You never know the last time, you're gonna see someone.
Many years can go by, until the deal is done. Sometimes life surprises you but death's the surest thing

So how do you know when someone else has died when they're sittin right in front of you before you very eyes. And there's nothin you can do but listen to their lies.

Aint no blood, aint no broken bones and the sound was the only clue,
Never loved that dog as much as i loved you.

Chain the door the checks are cut, ain't worth more than a cigarette but, worked his ass off every day, watchin his life melt away, people that he knew just cocked their heads tryin to figure out the difference who's alive and who is dead.

Aint no blood, aint no broken bones and the sound was the only clue,
Never loved that dog as much as i loved you.
