lyrics

The most important shot you’ll ever take is the one you never want
The reaper came a week too late for my only son
My boy we were runnin' free ‘til February come
Now you can’t walk or breath and you're begging for the gun

Chorus:

Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Even when you're killing a love you can’t replace
Oh Copper dog of all that’s sacred we erase
You will be the part of me that I forever chase.

That old dog was the stoic prince of all he smelled or seen
How I grinned from ear to ear saying he belonged to me
Now how the hand of time grips him like a thief
All my pride took a ride into eternity

Chorus

Oh how the mothers speak of strangers taking burdens that are hard
I have no choice you see for I am he and he is me and I will follow him
into the dark
With all my heart a mercy bark

Chorus
