🎸 OPTION 1 — “Dozer’s Last Ride Home” (Outlaw Country Ballad)
(Verse 1)
Hey Mom, it’s me, Dozer,
I know today cut deep.
You held my head and whispered low,
As I drifted off to sleep.
But don’t you cry for me now,
I ain’t hurtin’ anymore.
Heaven’s got a porch light on,
And I just walked through the door.
(Verse 2)
I know it brought back Saxson,
I felt him in your tears.
I’ll find him on these golden fields,
Been waitin’ all these years.
I’ll tell him how you loved him,
How you carried both our names.
How you took me in and saved me,
And washed away my pain.
(Hook / Chorus)
Mom… as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil on this road ahead.
Your voice, your love, your gentle hand—
I’ll carry ‘em with me ‘til I see you again.
Love, Dozer.
(Verse 3)
Today I’m goin’ home now,
No more struggle, no more fight.
Just soft grass under my paws,
And endless, peaceful light.
I’m gonna miss you, Mama,
You were my safest place.
From the day you took me in,
I knew I’d found my grace.
(Bridge)
They joked I had an odor,
But you’d laugh and wash me clean.
You loved me like a warrior,
Like a queen behind the scenes.
I’ll tell God to save you a spot,
Not with the humans in their crowd—
Come sit with us beneath the stars,
Where the thunder ain’t so loud.
(Hook / Chorus)
Mom… as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil on this road ahead.
Your voice, your love, your gentle han
I’ll carry ‘em with me ‘til I see you again.
Love forever,
Dozer.
