Blue Healer

Took a bad fall back in second grade Broke three ribs and my right leg Spent a few days in that old hospital bed Mom and dad knew what I'd need Had a big surprise at home for me The kind to turn an eight year old's head As I hobbled in she ran to me One eye brown, the other green Wagging her tail like there was no tomorrow She was my blue healer She helped me get back on my feet Somehow she knew I was hurtin' I was pretty certain by the way she looked at me She licked my face Erased every trace of the blues My blue healer As I grew up she was growing old She had my heart, she had my soul My senior prom seemed to come real soon When Becky broke my heart that night My dog and I say side by side As I cried she was howling at the moon She was my blue healer And she helped me get back on my feet Somehow she knew I was hurtin' I was pretty certain by the way she looked at me She licked my face Erased every trace of the blues My blue healer She had six pups the night she left this world But only one spittin' image of my blue healer girl One eye brown, the other green Wagging her little tail like there was no tomorrow She was my blue healer She helped me get back on my feet Somehow she knew I was hurtin' I was pretty certain by the way she looked at me She licked my face Erased every trace of the blues My blue healer
