Short Legs and Long Walks

Verse 1

Low

To the grass

Belly rubbing on the clover

Dachshunds weaving through the garden gate

Small paws

Swift

Gracie leads the pack

Across the dusty yard today

Where the red clay stays wet

Chorus

Tiny dogs are the heart of the home

Short legs wandering where the wild things roam

Little buddies by the porch light

Small enough to hold tight

In the cool of the night

They're the heart of the home

Verse 2

Jack Russells

Jumping high

Springs inside their tiny frames

Chasing circles round the hickory tree

Dean-o

Barking

Jazz is digging holes

Rockelle is finding buried bones

While the afternoon

Fades slow

Into a golden haze

Chorus

Tiny dogs are the heart of the home

Short legs wandering where the wild things roam

Little buddies by the porch light

Small enough to hold tight

In the cool of the night

They're the heart of the home

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Maybe they bark at the mailman

Maybe they sleep on your shoes

Maybe they keep you from feeling

So lonesome

So heavy

So tired

Verse 3

Sun

Warm fur

Gracie snoozing on the rug

Dean-o watching for a falling crumb

Little lives

Big love

Jazz is curled into a ball

Rockelle is waiting for a walk

Down the gravel road

Walking

Sniffing

Stopping by the fence

Chorus

Tiny dogs are the heart of the home

Short legs wandering where the wild things roam

Little buddies by the porch light

Small enough to hold tight

In the cool of the night

They're the heart of the home

Post-Chorus

Little buddies

Little buddies

They're the heart of the home

Little buddies

Little buddies

They're the heart of the home

Outro

Walking down the road

Tails wagging slow

Just a little dog

In a big backyard

See them go

See them go

See them go
