"Sam" lyrics - STURGILL SIMPSON

[Refrain:]
Well, a good dog on the ground's worth three in the saddle, no matter where you're from
Been many good dog was a friend to a man, but Sam was the greatest one
He was a hound of hounds
He was the wonder of all walkers
He loved howlin' at the moon
He loved treein' that racoon
Most of all, he was my best friend, and he's gone too soon

[Bridge:]
He was the runt of the litter
But a plenty mean pup
Put Sam on the scent, and he never let up
Spent his nights on the porch, chewin' on a bare bone
Now he's underground, and I'm all alone

[Refrain:]
Well, a good dog on the ground's worth three in the saddle, no matter where you're from
Been many good dog was a friend to a man, but Sam was the greatest one
He was a hound of hounds
He was the wonder of all walkers
He loved howlin' at the moon
He loved treein' that racoon
Most of all, he was my best friend, and he's gone too soon
