Do All Dogs Go To Heaven

(album: Come Get Your Memory - 2023)

Dear Lord, do all dogs go to heaven?
'Cause I can't find it in my Bible
I'm always grateful for your blessing
But I need a country-boy revival
It's been tough on me here lately
A lot of hard-headed believing
I've been praying, heart's been heavy
This blue heeler needed healing

And, Lord, I know she'll be better off in your hands
But I don't know if there can be a better man's best friend

There won't be another one here in the shotgun seat
Head out the window running every street
I'm hanging on to what I've got left
A collar and some real good memories
Will you hold her tight 'til I get home?
A good old dog never did no wrong
And sure as hell taught this old boy a lesson
Lord, I know you get a lot, but I've got one question
"Do all dogs go to heaven?"

Dear Lord, if I could have an answer
Could you tell me, is she OK?
I know if she was still here with me
She wouldn't want to see me this way
Lord, I hope right now she's wagging her tail
Oh, oh, and playing ball with Jesus and not waiting by herself

There won't be another one here in the shotgun seat
Head out the window running every street
I'm hanging on to what I've got left
This collar and some real good memories
Will you hold her tight 'til I get home?
A good old dog never did no wrong
And sure as hell taught this old boy a lesson
Lord, I know you get a lot, but I've got one question
"Do all dogs go to heaven?"

Lord, I know she ain't perfect
But she's perfect in her own way
And, Lord, I'll take the blame for everything
Just don't turn her away

There won't be another one here in the shotgun seat
The head out the window running every street
I'm hanging on to what I've got left
A collar and some real good memories
Will you hold her tight 'til I get home?
A good old dog never did no wrong
And sure as hell taught this old boy a lesson
Lord, I know you get a lot, but I've got one question
I hope that I'm not wrong for second-guessing
But do all dogs go to heaven?
Do all dogs go to heaven?
