Zach Ray - Boy and His Best Friend Lyrics

Mama tells the story
About the day they brought him home
And meeting him for the first time
She wasn't sure we'd get along
But it didn't take much time at all
For this boy to understand
That I had found my very first best friend
Laying 'neath a shade tree or fishing down by the creek
Fighting made up monsters
Mosquitos, and the summertime heat
And we'd race home as the sun went down
I just knew he'd let me win
Cause winning it don't matter
Between a boy and his best friend
He was there every time my world fell apart
And he sat there right beside me when she broke my heart
And he knew to stay when I thought I could do it on my own
And when I start to miss him I pull out my phone
And dig up a few pictures of my old dog
He don't care how long that I've been gone
And he knows that it's still me
We pick up right where we left off
Running down by the creek
And we'd race all the way back home
But this time I let him win
Cause winning it don't matter
Cause we both get to spend
One more day, a boy and his best friend
I got the call early one morning
I could tell just what was wrong
By the way my mama told me to get back home
I carried him to that old shade tree
And I knew he was fading quickly
So we just there with his head on my knee
He looked up to say goodbye
I guess he knew this was the end
Cause life don't last forever
Between a boy and his best friend
I wish that life could last forever
Between a boy
And his best friend

Mama tells the story
About the day they brought him home
And meeting him for the first time
She wasn't sure we'd get along
But it didn't take much time at all
For this boy to understand
That I had found my very first best friend
Laying 'neath a shade tree or fishing down by the creek
Fighting made up monsters
Mosquitos, and the summertime heat
And we'd race home as the sun went down
I just knew he'd let me win
Cause winning it don't matter
Between a boy and his best friend
He was there every time my world fell apart
And he sat there right beside me when she broke my heart
And he knew to stay when I thought I could do it on my own
And when I start to miss him I pull out my phone
And dig up a few pictures of my old dog
He don't care how long that I've been gone
And he knows that it's still me
We pick up right where we left off
Running down by the creek
And we'd race all the way back home
But this time I let him win
Cause winning it don't matter
Cause we both get to spend
One more day, a boy and his best friend
I got the call early one morning
I could tell just what was wrong
By the way my mama told me to get back home
I carried him to that old shade tree
And I knew he was fading quickly
So we just there with his head on my knee
He looked up to say goodbye
I guess he knew this was the end
Cause life don't last forever
Between a boy and his best friend
I wish that life could last forever
Between a boy
And his best friend
