A Dog, a Pocketknife, a Twenty-Two
For Jared Allen Brandon, of Happy
Memory
And Jared Walker Bess
A dog, a pocketknife, a
twenty-two
The rightful possessions
of every Texas lad
For working out the values
he must live up to
The virtues that he
learned from his solid ol’ Dad
A dog, a pocketknife, a
twenty-two
Self-discipline, honest
friends, a manly stride
A quiet voice that’s sturdy,
firm, and true
A man of accomplishment
and quiet pride
For you remember your own boyhood,
yes, you do -
A dog, a pocketknife, a
twenty-two
