She was born in the country, in a town nobody knows
She had the sweetest brown eyes
and the softest golden coat
She was the smallest of the litter
with her tail between her legs
I knew she'd been hurt, she was scared
So I rescued her that day
She needed me to give her a happy home
I needed her so I could love her so
My dog and me
we were meant to be together
Right there for each other
through he good times and the bad
My dog and me
will be friends forever
And I'll always remember
all the ways she made me smile
I named her Ellie Belle
'cause she was a country girl
I'd throw and catch the frisbee
She was the best in all the world
And though she always stayed a little shy and afraid
She'd swim in the roughest water
Like the bravest dog God ever made
She needed me
and I gave her happy home
I needed her
oh, I loved her so
My dog and me
We were meant to be together
Right there for each other
through the good time and the bad
My dog and Me, we'll
be friends forever
And I'll always remember
all the ways she made me smile
Go girl, keep on running, jumping, swimming in the sky
You'll always be me friend, until the day I die
You stayed beside me
no matter what I did
You always loved me
and your love would never quit
And as I write this song and think of all the times you helped me through
I can't help thinking
who rescued who?
My dog and me
we were meant to be together
Right there for each other
through he good times and the bad
My dog and me
will be friends forever
And I'll always remember all the ways she made me smile
I'll always remember all the ways she made me smile
