Lyrics:

                                                  
Slowpoke’s Field


There’s a shady little spot 
Neath a blackjack oak 
With a hand carved sign 
Sayin’ here lies ole slowpoke 

His name was always funny 
Cause he could run like the wind 
But grandpa gave it to him as a joke 
Like you would an old close friend 

prechorus: 
Everywhere grandpa went 
He’d take along that hound 
I’d never seen him cry 
Till we laid him in the ground 

chorus:

A dogs life spans
but a moment
in our own

they’re here
then just like that
God says it’s time to go 

And heaven gets the better end 
Of a forever kind of deal 

when another
joins the others
at rest
in slowpokes field


verse: 

Collars, notes, chew toys
Appeared through time
painted stones or stick crosses
with every new goodbye

And we come out here from time to time
To remember all of them 
Just angels out on loan
Til they gotta go back again 

chorus:

A dogs life spans
but a moment
in our own

they’re here
then just like that
God says it’s time to go 

And heaven gets the better end 
Of a forever kind of deal 

when another
joins the others
at rest
in slowpokes field

bridge-

they’re head rests
when we get tired
shoulders where
we can cry
patient playthings
for rowdy kids
protectors
and the best of friends 


chorus:

A dogs life spans
but a moment
in our own

they’re here
then just like that
God says it’s time to go 

And heaven gets the better end 
Of a forever kind of deal 

when another
joins the others
at rest
in slowpokes field
