As I walked down the line
I could hear the hounds call
take me, pick me.,
came from every stall

I got to the end
And not a sound was made
Sitting quietly in the corner
And hidden in the shade

These big brown gentle eyes
And tiger striped big head
Appeared from the shadow
And picked me is what he did

friends from then on
my big buddy and me
little did I know
just how close that we would be

his manners weren’t that great
but I didn’t care
how could you resist
that gentle greythound stare

walking side by side
we were proud as we could be
yeah that was us
my big buddy and me

time it seemed forever
and suddenly its gone
time is goes so fast
my big buddy has moved on

moved on to the bridge
where everyday is fun
just like in the day
when our friendship just begun

now he runs forever
painless and no fear
I just want him to remember
And take away the tears

The times we had together
they cannot be replaced
there stored away in memory
of that special greythound face.

I had to let you go
But your always in my heart
Your memorys forever
You had me from the start.
