Guardian

(hm-mmm) Two black-and-white collies down in the yard

One is a bully,

pushing too

hard

Little sister cowers, nowhere to run

But the shadow is shifting under the sun

Then comes my black Lab mix bounding on in

Standing his ground where the troubles begin

Big heavy paws and a heart made of gold

Keeping the peace like the stories of old

(yeah, keeping the peace)

My aunt looks on

as the dynamic clears

No more growling,

no more fears Just a big black coat standing guard in between

The bravest protector she's ever seen

With my black Lab mix bounding on in

Standing his ground where the troubles begin

Big heavy paws and a heart made of gold

Keeping the peace like the stories of old

(keeping the peace,

oh yeah)

Good boy,

standing guard

Quiet night in

the backyard
