I haven't bought new shoes in months, I barely ever mop the floor
Nobody's sniffing for my lunch, no scratches on the bathroom door
The squirrels run around the yard, they're looking braver by the day
The mailman comes without a bark, says hello and strolls away
But when the thunder rolls at night, your bed still has an empty space
He'd follow you through every room, like he could chase the dark away
Somehow he knew just what you needed, before you had the words to say
Boy, he drove me crazy, but I miss him anyway
Oh, you're too young to know, how lucky you are
To love someone and hold them tight enough to break your heart
And you'll grow old and smile again
When you think about the summer nights you spent with your friend
The pictures, they'll get dusty
And the memories get fuzzy
But you'll show the ones you love,
"you see, that's me. And that's my Lucky"
No balls of hair stuck in the couch, the neighbors haven't called in weeks
No more surprises on the porch, no stopping cars short in the street
The grass looks greener than it should, the flowers finally get to bloom
And I should like this cleaner house, but I don't like the extra room
Oh, whenever you were lonely, he could read it on your face
He'd sit there by the window, wait to see you everyday
Somehow he knew just what you needed, before you had the words to say
Boy, he drove me crazy, but I miss him anyway
Oh, you're too young to know, how lucky you are
To love someone and hold them tight enough to break your heart
And you'll grow old and smile again
When you think about the summer nights you spent with your friend
The pictures, they'll get dusty
And the memories get fuzzy
But you'll show the ones you love,
"you see, that's me. And that's my Lucky"
I still step over where he slept, when I'm walking down the hall
I still find places where he left, another chewed up tennis ball
I still look down below my feet, before I clear my dinner plate
And I still start to call him in, and then I catch myself too late
Oh, he knew when you were lonely, even when you tried to hide
Like the world could fall to pieces, but he'd still be at your side
Somehow he knew just what you needed, before you had the words to say
Boy, he drove me crazy, but I miss him every day
Oh, you're too young to know, how lucky you are
To love someone and hold them tight enough to break your heart
And you'll grow old and smile again
When you think about the summer nights you spent with your friend
The pictures, they'll get dusty
And the memories get fuzzy
But you'll show the ones you love,
"you see, that's me. And that's my Lucky"
