Bo Bottoms - Wassie Girl Lyrics

Just a southern girl left on the road
Her heart was still filled with hope
She was ready to be the best dog that you had ever seen
She said you just hadn't met me

In the natural state we searched high and low
For the perfect girl to counter our dark soul
Black and white pattern it didn't matter how old
We were giving this girl a forever home
And we'll call her Wassie Girl

She loved everyone never hurt a fly
She was scared of storms we'd hold her through the night
Beach babe loved sand waves sticks bones and even scones
She'd follow like a shadow through fears and unknowns
She was our Wassie Girl

Seven years went way too fast
Her legs and mind raced to see who went bad
We hand fed and carried her as much as we could
How her mind won the race we never understood

When the day came tears fell down my face
We tried our best to give her peace of a place
I held your paw and watched your eyes close just one last time
Your final breath took away mine
We said goodbye Wassie Girl

The memories are all that's left
God how I miss her old dog breath
They say we'll meet again at the Rainbow Bridge
Till that day comes know you'll be missed

If you've lost your own four-legged soul
The joy they bring I'm sure you know
If our love could keep them here they'd still be with us
Now they protect from up above
Yours is with our Wassie Girl
