[Verse]
Well, he caught that scent on the shiftin’ wind,
A Rottweiler runnin’ where the trouble begins.
Mitchell’s steady, Payge cryin’ out loud,
Two bad boys holdin’ court in that house.
Gunther dropped low, claws diggin’ the dirt,
Slid through the dog door like a ghost in a shirt.
Utility room, heart poundin’ like thunder,
He was already flirtin’ with danger
[Chorus]
Flirtin’ with danger, gettin’ closer every day,
Flirtin’ with danger, in the woods he made ‘em pay.
You can hear them comin’, what you know is comin’ your way,
Max and Smalls hit hard—Crazy Willie’s done today!
He tracked that coward through the pines and the brush,
Willie spun with a grin and a forty-five’s hush.
Shot cracked the dirt, but Gunther stood tall,
Planted like iron, answerin’ the call.
Then two dark shapes exploded from the green,
Rottweiler brothers, meanest you ever seen.
Shoulder and thigh, they dragged that fool down,
Police poured in when Gunther gave the sound.
(Rebel Yell)
You’re Killing me Smalls.
(guitar solo)
[Bridge]
Now the family’s gathered, tails waggin’ in the sun,
Millicent runnin’, cryin’ “My son! My son!”
Alexander standin’ proud, voice rough as old stone,
“Once lost, now found—welcome home.”
Scars on his coat from the wild and the fight,
From mountains and Magnus to this southern light.
He ain’t the pup that ran away no more,
He’s a guardian, boys, standin’ at the door.
[Chorus]
Flirtin’ with danger, but he brought his family home,
Flirtin’ with danger, now the wild wind’s his own.
You can see him comin’, what you know is comin’ your way,
Gunther the hero—K-9 born to save the day!
Yeah, flirtin’ with disaster…
Gettin’ closer every day…
Gunther’s howlin’—hear him bay!
