For Zeke

(Verse 1)

Yeah, Zeke, you’re more than a dog, you’re my right-hand man

From the first wag of your tail, I knew you were the plan

Black fur shining in the sun, eyes full of soul

Every day with you, man, you make me whole

We run through the fields, splash in the streams

Chasing every stick, living out our dreams

Even when you’re wild, rolling, sniffing things that make me groan

Yeah, even when you’re licking concrete, you’re still my own

(Chorus)

Zeke, you’re the best a man could ask for

All I want is joy, love, and so much more

May your tail always wag, your heart always free

I love you, Zeke, you mean the world to me

(Verse 2)

I’ve seen the loyalty in every glance you give

The way you cheer me up just by how you live

No words can match what you bring every day

A friend, a brother, my shadow in every way

From quiet nights to mornings full of sun

Every fetch, every run, man, you make life fun

I’ll do my best to give you the life you deserve

The happiest dog, full of love and full of nerve

(Chorus)

Zeke, you’re the best a man could ask for

All I want is joy, love, and so much more

May your tail always wag, your heart always free

I love you, Zeke, you mean the world to me

(Bridge)

Concrete, mud, or puddles in the yard

I love it all, every moment, every part

You’re family, you’re soul, you’re my four-legged king

And for all you do, my heart will always sing

(Chorus / Outro)

Zeke, you’re the best a man could ask for

All I want is joy, love, and so much more

May your tail always wag, your heart always free

I love you, Zeke, you mean the world to me

Yeah… love you, Zeke, forever my dog

Forever my boy
