"Levi"
Written by Scott CooleyDon't bother with no social media
Spend too much time on wikipedia
In a group, I’m isolated or phony
But when I'm alone, I'm never lonely
Got a small circle of acquaintances
But my dog is my best friend, Levi
It’s hard to believe in things I can’t see
Got no time to support a cause or a team
Although some things can make me mad
I don't get the blues, no, I'm never sad
When I need to get it off my chest
My dog is my best friend, Levi
I can get bummed out once in a while
But my dog will always make me smile
Finding anyone you can trust is rare
People let me down but I don't care
There's only one on which I can depend
Yeah, my dog is my best friend, Levi
Eats my pillows and he eats my shoes
Loves a pair of socks and the evening news
He can be a stinker and he can be sweet
A toy brings him joy and so does a treat
Don’t get out much, I’ll be a loner to the end
And my dog is my best friend, Levi
If I toss a tennis ball he’ll always retrieve
He follows me around and lies by my feet
Don’t need a shrink, ‘cause he’s easy to find
Happy to see me come home every time
I only wish I had more time to spend
My dog is my best friend, Levi
Tragedies happen but he’s such a good pup
Instinctively he knows how to cheer me up
He brings me comfort whenever I’m upset
Unconditional love that I won’t ever forget
He’s the best pet that I've had yet
Yeah, my dog is my best friend, his name is Levi
