A song about losing my best hunting dog, Blue, in a tragic accident.
[Verse] Sunrise paints the sky gold and blue, With heavy heart, I lace my worn-out boots, Out by the barn, where old Blue used to play, My best friend took his last run yesterday.
[Verse 2] In the thicket where wild game roams free, A sudden flash, an unseen tragedy, His loyal bark now a soft, absent sound, Lost my best hunting dog, still can't believe he's gone.
[Chorus] Gone to the fields where he loved to run, Chasing dreams under the setting sun, With a spirit that soared, forever true, Now there's an empty space, left by old Blue.
[Verse 3] His collar hangs by the back porch door, A dusty reminder of hunts gone before, I swear I see him in the early dawn light, Trailing deer in the shadows of the night.
[Verse 4] Neighbors come 'round, sharing their grief, Folks understand, the bond and the belief, A good dog’s love, pure and strong, He's out there with the angels, running along.
[Chorus] Gone to the fields where he loved to run, Chasing dreams under the setting sun, With a spirit that soared, forever true, Now there's an empty space, left by old Blue.
