[Verse 1]
Mille sleeps by the door
One ear up, one ear down
Sees a leaf blow sideways
She’s halfway to the ground
She shakes at the thunder
Hides under my truck
Barks at her own shadow
Then runs out to show love
[Pre-Chorus]
But if that screen door cracks
And she smells the wild
Her tail turns into a flag
And she goes miles and miles
[Chorus]
Mille, Mille, fence line queen
Chasing deer through the bean-field green
Mille, Mille, all shook up
Big brave heart in a little pup
Mille, Mille, call her name
She comes running back the same
Scared of the world, but here’s the thing
She loves me more than anything
[Verse 2]
She jumped the fence at daylight
Like she had someplace to go
Paws in the dust, ears flying
After doe tracks in a row
She stops when the grass moves
Freezes at a sound
Then comes skidding back to me
With her tongue hung out
[Pre-Chorus]
And I laugh when she trembles
At a paper sack in the yard
But she climbs in my lap like
I’m the safest place by far
[Chorus]
Mille, Mille, fence line queen
Chasing deer through the bean-field green
Mille, Mille, all shook up
Big brave heart in a little pup
Mille, Mille, call her name
She comes running back the same
Scared of the world, but here’s the thing
She loves me more than anything
[Bridge]
She don’t need to be tough
She don’t need to pretend
She’s a bundle of nerves
With a heart that won’t bend
And when the dark rolls in
She’s right at my side
Little scared fool, big soft soul
Best friend of my life
[Chorus]
Mille, Mille, fence line queen
Chasing deer through the bean-field green
Mille, Mille, all shook up
Big brave heart in a little pup
Mille, Mille, call her name
She comes running back the same
Scared of the world, but here’s the thing
She loves me more than anything
