All Dogs Go To Heaven Lyrics
He's hangin' out the window on every Sunday drive
He's front door standing guard, barking as the cars go by
He's always glad to see me, and sad to see me go
He's the closest thing to pure love that I've ever known
[Chorus]
And that's why all dogs go to Heaven
To spend forever running wild and free, off the leash
I know he'll probably go before me
Oh, and that's the day I'm dreadin'
But he'll be waiting on me at the gates
'Cause all dogs go to Heaven
[Verse 2]
If you spell God backwards, you'll get man's best friend
And when this life is over, man, that ain't gonna end
And you won't find it in the Bible, but I know it's true
If up there in the sky, there's a place for me and you
[Chorus]
Then all dogs go to Heaven
To spend forever running wild and free, off the leash
I know he'll probably go before me
Oh, and that's the day I'm dreadin'
But he'll be waiting on me at the gates
'Cause all dogs go to Heaven, mm
There'll be bones for chewin', sticks for chasin'
And never-ending fields to play in
[Chorus]
Because all dogs go to Heaven
To spend forever running wild and free, off the leash
I know he'll probably go before me
Oh, and that's the day I'm dreadin'
But he'll be waiting on me at the gates
Yeah, just like we ain't never missed a day
'Cause all dogs go to Heaven
All dogs go to Heaven

I think, just regardless of whether you have, big dogs, small dog, whatever pet of any kind, you can kind of get the point of all dogs go to heaven because it’s just, you know, they’re probably not gonna outlive us. So I think everybody doesn’t want to think about that, but you know that that’s gonna be something you’re gonna have to deal with at some point. It’s just the idea of, you know, they’ll be waiting on you when you get up there. I think we knew at the end of that day we had something that regardless of if this is ever, you know, a major single or anything else, I think it’s going to impact people. And I think it’s something that’s really special. So it fits a different lane on this record, and that was something I was going for.

“All Dogs Go to Heaven” is one of my favorites because it’s just different, it’s not something that I’ve done before. And on the other side of the coin, ‘Looking For You’ is a love song. That’s one of the things that really helped make me who I am as an artist. It’s sort of my bread and butter.
