I've outlived five good dogs
and I miss them all more than I miss you.
Lazy days can be made
when there's just too many things to do
Always a time
spent with a friend
and the money and time should be spent
Cause I was always a turtle,
when you needed a rabbit instead
I'm glad what you've got ain't contagious,
or I would have gone out of my head
Lay where you can
and sleep will come,
for sometimes sleep is a poor mans only friend.
The day will shine
like silver rain
and roll your troubles away in the wind
With two good hands
and happiness
someday you'll understand that
I was always a turtle,
when you needed a rabbit instead
I'm glad what you've got ain't contagious,
or I would have gone out of my head.
Stick out your neck,
to get ahead,
is what turtles so often do
So carefully
and slow it seems,
funny, thats the way I met you.
So fast you ran
still missed the race,
till the years washed away your face.
Cause I was always a turtle,
when you needed a rabbit instead
I'm glad what you've got ain't contagious,
or I would have gone out of my head.
