[Verse 1]
Mama says, "Doc's comin' around the mountain"
Maddie's already waiting at the door
Nose to the screen, little brown eyes glowing
Whining like she's been alone for years
Soon as that girl steps out of her car
Maddie’s dancing out of gear
She’ll leave every toy, every guest
Just to press her head to Doc's chest
Yeah everybody loves Maddie
But Maddie loves Doc the best
[Chorus]
Yeah, Maddie loves Doc the best
Heart jumps right out of her chest
Spins in circles, jumps in her arms
Like she’s coming home from a war
From the couch to the door to the walk
That dog just can’t get enough
Out of everyone she could’ve picked, I guess
Maddie loves Doc the best
[Verse 2]
Weeknights late, when the house gets quiet
My phone lights up on the nightstand
Before I can even say, “Hey, how you doing?”
There’s a cold nose on my elbow
She hears that voice through a little speaker
And it hits her like a summer breeze
Lays her head soft on the phone
Like Doc’s right there on the bed
[Chorus]
’Cause Maddie loves Doc the best
Heart jumps right out of her chest
Spins in circles, jumps in her arms
Like she’s coming home from a war
From the couch to the door to the walk
That dog just can’t get enough
Out of everyone she could’ve picked, I guess
Maddie loves Doc the best
[Verse 3]
Phone starts to ring on the counter
Soon as I say “Hey, it’s Doc”
She hops up, nose by the speaker
Lays her head like it’s all she’s got
Eyes half closed like she’s dreamin’
Of Doc's hands scratchin’ her neck
Storm rolls in, she gets shaky
Thunder booms over the pines
Doc calls up “Hey, Maddie”
Suddenly the whole sky’s fine
Some folks pray for an angel
She just waits on that call from Doc
‘Cause everybody here loves Maddie
But Maddie loves Doc the best
[Bridge]
I tease her, "Girl, what about me?"
She just leans in harder, half asleep
Doc laughs on the other end
Says, "Guess I stole your best friend"
