Bandit was a black lab daddy brought home
Am D
He said, "Son he's yours from now on"

Bandit looked at me, and he cocked his head
A D
Slept at night on the foot of my bed
D Em
All that year, I can see him still
Am D
Chasing after me, nipping at my heels
D Em
Down to the bus stop, my new best friend
A D
Still waiting right there when I got home again
G D Em D
And I thought we would be together
G D
But, I was young back then
Em D
I guess I just didn't know
A D Em
Little boys grow up and dogs get old

He was my sidekick through thick and thin
Am D
And he'd bark at my fish when I'd reel 'em in
D Em
Summers came and went and we grew like weeds
A D
And I don't know if I raised him or he raised me
G D Em D
And I thought we would be together

He was fourteen when I left for Tennessee
G D G D
And he came down the front porch steps a little slow
Em D
I got down to hug his neck
G D Em D
Said "you take care of Mom and Dad 'til I get home"

"And be a good boy"
A
"Now you be a good boy"
