From the recording Better Than
Lyrics
[Intro]
He laughed at me when I missed that shot
Pixel sky, but the dream was hot
That ol’ beagle with a grin so wide
Been smilin’ at me since I was a kid inside
[Verse 1]
Back in the 80s, sittin’ cross-legged low
Blowin’ in the cartridge, watch it glow
Every miss, he’d mock me loud
That bayin’ laugh still makes me proud
[Pre-Chorus]
From a pixel dream to the fields we’d roam
That beagle pup became my home
[Chorus]
Bayin’ at the moon, singin’ that tune
Every trail we’ve run, every old cartoon
From a teenage game to the woods full-grown
This beagle heart will lead me home
This beagle's heart still brings me home
[Verse 2]
Early twenties, dawn so cold
He tracked the line, brave and bold
Through the fields, through the morning dew
I wasn’t alone, he pulled me through
[Pre-Chorus]
He’s stubborn, sure, but his love don’t fade
Through every hunt, every mess I made
[Chorus]
Bayin’ at the moon, singin’ that tune
Every trail we’ve run, every old cartoon
From a teenage laugh to a man full-grown
This beagle’s heart still brings me home
This beagle's heart still brings me home
[Bridge]
Not about the prize, not about the game
It’s the bond we share that stays the same
Through every season, the years that fly
He’s the bayin’ song in my life
[Chorus]
Bayin’ at the moon, singin’ that tune
Every dream I chased still shines with you
From a pixel sky to the fields we’ve roamed
This beagle love will bring me home
This beagle love will bring me home
[Outro]
“He still laughs when I miss… and I wouldn’t trade that for nothin’.”
