Bo (Buddha's Song) Lyrics

I had a dog

His name was Bo

He never really knew how far to go

Went to the mountains

Went to the sea

Strutted 'cross town, roaming free

Thought I had Bo but he had me

Had a mind of his own, so plain to see

Thought he could fly, but he sure could swim

Made it out to the islands and back again

Bo my friend, what'll I do

I just can't quite keep up with you

Here and gone and that ain't no lie

Love you 'till the day I die

Hot summer night electric storm

Rain came down, he was out the door

Thunder clapped, lightning flashed the sky

(He was) lost no matter how hard I tried

Daylight came and I don't know when

Bo made it back to the house again

Bandage on his leg not looking so good

Bo had raised hell in the neighborhood

Bo my friend, what'll I do

I just can't quite keep up with you

Here and gone and that ain't no lie

Love you 'till the day I die

Out in the yard Bo nabbed a coon

Sent him to his maker by the light of the moon

Always on the move never out of breath

Bo scared my wife 'bout half to death

Chased a lizard, chased them squirrels

Chipmunk chunks and the scene unfurled

Said the man in the park, "Get your dog on a leash!"

Bo pulled me right off-a-my feet

Bo my friend, what'll I do

I just can't quite keep up with you

Here and gone and that ain't no lie

Love you 'till the day I die

Now it's not for me to criticize

With that hang dog look he's a sight for sore eyes

Head of a ram, granite jaws

Black as the night except his four white paws

When he struts on up, some stop and stare

Then his tale starts a wagging like he just don't care

Heart of gold, gentle and strong

Loyal and true as the day is long

Bo my friend, what'll I do

I just can't quite keep up with you

Here and gone and that ain't no lie

Love you 'till the day I die

Here and gone and that ain't no lie

Love you 'till the day I die

Here and gone and that ain't no lie

Love you 'till the day I die
