Here's a blast from the past, from the 70s. May be kind of obscure to some people.

Me And You And A Dog Named Boo - Lobo
INTRO G

G C D G
I remember to this day the bright red Georgia clay,
G D
How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain.
G
Will power made that old car go;
D G
A woman's mind told me that it's so.
G C C C C D C C C D
Oh, how I wish we were back on the road again.

C D G
Me and you and a dog named Boo,
C D G
Traveling and living off the land.
C D G
Me and you and a dog named Boo,
C G
How I love being a free man.

G C D G
I can still recall the wheat fields of Saint Paul,
G D
And the morning we got caught robbing from an old hen.
G C D D
Old MacDonald made us work, but then he paid us for what it was worth;
G C C C C D C C C D
Another tank of gas and back on the road again.

C D G
Me and you and a dog named Boo,
C D G
Traveling and living off the land.
C D G
Me and you and a dog named Boo,
C G
How I love being a free man.

G
I'll never forget that day
C D G
We motored stately into big L.A.
G D
The lights of the city put settling down in my brain.
G
Though it's only been a month or so,
C D G
That old car's bugging us to go,
G C C C C D C C C D
Another tank of gas and, back on the road again.

C D G
Me and you and a dog named Boo,
C D G
Traveling and living off the land.
C D G
Me and you and a dog named Boo,
C G
How I love being a free man.

Edit: There is no F; this is in G. The F should be C. The source was wrong. I corrected it.

It is difficult to answer when one does not understand the question.

AM Gold rules!!!!!

Thanks for posting. I remember this song. Never really listened to the words back then except for the ever popular chorus.

yanno, this song is a minor chord away from sliting one's own wrists. Gonna have to file this one away with "Honey", "Alone Again (Naturally)" and "Wildfire".

Oh, then I won't do "Indiana Wants Me (But I Can't Go Back There). Or Which Way You Going Billy? Or Seasons In The Sun. :lol: :lol: :lol:

At least someone gets to age with "Seasons In The Sun". :)

I thought it was about dying young or committing suicide.

Come to think of it...... Dang, it is about dying young. There were some pretty dark AM Gold songs, that's fer sure.
