Boss

Intro - Acoustic guitar

Verse 1

My first sight of you, a loyal heart so true

A Border Collie's grace, with purpose in your face

You never strayed too far, my guiding, perfect star

Always knew just what to do, my perfect, loyal view

Chorus

Oh, Boss, my good old friend, until the very end

Twelve years we shared our way, through every single day

You taught me how to see, what true love means to me

My faithful, loyal soul, you made my spirit whole

Verse 2

I loved watching you eat, those simple, happy treats

Your nose down in the bowl, a joy that filled my soul

Such a pure delight, a simple, precious sight

No worries, just content, a gift that heaven sent

Chorus

Oh, Boss, my good old friend, until the very end

Twelve years we shared our way, through every single day

You taught me how to see, what true love means to me

My faithful, loyal soul, you made my spirit whole

Verse 3

Through changing seasons' sway, you brightened every day

Your steadfast, loving gaze, lit up my darker days

You knew my every thought, the lessons that you taught

A bond that couldn't cease, bringing my soul such peace.

Chorus

Oh, Boss, my good old friend, until the very end

Twelve years we shared our way, through every single day

You taught me how to see, what true love means to me

My faithful, loyal soul, you made my spirit whole

Bridge

Thank you for always loving me, even when I didn’t deserve it

Your gentle, patient heart, played such a vital part

A love so deep and wide, always by my side

A silent promise, kept within your gaze

My truest, dearest friend, until the very end

Harmonica solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Boss, my good old friend, until the very end

Twelve years we shared our way, through every single day

You taught me how to see, what true love means to me

My faithful, loyal soul, you made my spirit whole

Outro

Now you're in peaceful sleep, no promises to keep

Cuddling close to Harley, safe and warm you tarry

Run free beyond the sun, your gentle race is run
