[Verse 1]
Cardboard boxes
Empty fridge, full ashtray
I was half a person
Just trying to fade away
Then my buddy said
"Man, you need something true"
From the backseat blanket
Out tumbled little Prue
Tiny paws on hardwood
Those ice-blue eyes on mine
Chewed up all my boots
Licked up all my pride
Clumsy on the front steps
Snow on her nose, brand-new
First time I laughed in ages
Was because of you, Prue (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Prue saved me
Long before she dragged me off that floor
She was waiting at the window
Every time I slammed that door
Yeah, I was going under
But she pulled me through
Little fur tornado
With a heart that knew
I was hanging by a thread
Till she tangled it in blue
Prue saved me
Yeah, my Prue saved me
[Verse 2]
There was one bad evening
Bottle in my hand
Pills across the counter
I didn’t wanna stand
Room started spinning
I slid down to my knees
Heard this frantic scratching
Felt her muzzle under me
She howled like a siren
Woke the whole damn road
Neighbor kicked my front door
Said, "Man, we gotta go"
Bright lights, white ceilings
I came back slow, confused
Doctor said, "You’re lucky"
I just whispered, "Thanks, Prue"
[Chorus]
Prue saved me
Long before she dragged me off that floor
She was waiting at the window
Every time I slammed that door
Yeah, I was going under
But she pulled me through
Little fur tornado
With a heart that knew
I was hanging by a thread
Till she tangled it in blue
Prue saved me
Yeah, my Prue saved me
[Bridge]
Now it’s dirt roads
Dawn drives, coffee in my hand
Prue’s head out the window
Ears back, sniffing land
Riverbank sunsets
Her footprints in the mud
I used to chase an ending
Now I chase her through the woods (hey!)
[Chorus]
Prue saved me
Now we’re chasing every open sky
She’s riding shotgun in that Chevy
Tongue out, burning miles
We’re camping by the fire
Under a midnight moon
She curls up on my chest
Like she always used to do
Yeah, I was almost gone
Till she came crashing through
Prue saved me
Now every trail’s brand-new
Prue saved me
And I’m living for the view with Prue
