Now there's so much I don't know
But too late for me to go back to school
I've never had anything
Except for you and some songs to sing
And now I sit in this road
With one dying friend and nowhere to go
Wake up c' mon boy let's go
Just tug your leash and I'll follow

Do you remember the time when we were in the mountains?
You tried to play with that bear she never saw you coming
I pulled you back to the car we were laughing

Oh-now look at all these broken pieces
Oh-surely theres a way that we can put you back together again
my friend

I take you out to Bear Lake
Looks like a beautiful day to sink and fade
And I tie these stones to my feet
I feel the love as I tie your leash to me
So we foot fall off the boat
We're sinking fast with no other way to float
So where do you want to go
Just tug your leash and I'll follow

Do remember the time when we were at the ocean?
You tried to swim with them fish well now they got it coming
We're falling off of the boat and I'm laughing

So where do you want to go?
Just tug your leash and I'll follow
Just tug your leash and I'll follow
Just tug your leash please...
