Me And You And A Dog Named Boo - Lyrics - Lobo - ( Roland Kent LaVoie )

Me And You And A Dog Named Boo was written and performed by Lobo under his real name of Roland Kent LaVoie. It was his debut single and reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Easy Listening charts in 1971
Me And You And A Dog Named Boo
I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that so
Oh how I wish
We were back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named boo
How I love being a free man
I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas
And back on the road again
I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin'
Down in my brain
Though it's only been a month or so
That old car's buggin' us to go
We've gotta get away and get back on
The road again

Who's still cruising to this in 2023?

[@user-se2wb8dl2v]

Me

Me, and I did it all....

[@renatobrunharo1501]

2024

[@tomevans4402]

Yes

[@michaelplatter3281]

Released in 1971 - Still sounds awesome in 2021.

[@user-ku9jl3ix3x]

Seems like music was more joyous then. 1971 I was in junior high.

[@jamesprest9942]

I remember this coming out like it was yesterday i am now 79 years old,still brilliant and play it regular

[@johnrice4273]

Freakin right on!

[@johnrice4273]

I’m now 72. You’ve got a lot of experience on me. Traveling was so much easier then.

[@krmhayes2893]

I was in 8th grade when this song came out, and even then, wondered what it would be like to live out on the road. After I grew up, I was going to do just that, but all I did was keep showing up for those jobs, and never did get out on the road. Now I am too old and feeble to do it. Young people, if you want to do something DO IT! Don't put it off like I did, and decades later ask yourself "why didn't I do it?" Time passes fast, and the next thing you know, your time to get things done is over. Trust me......

[@BuriedFlame]

Feeling that way sometimes myself. Nothing left but bills and death.

[@johnrice4273]

Yes sir - exactly what I told my son. And away he went. He’s so damned glad he did.

[@richardmoore2124]

5 decades later and I still love this song! The 70's was the best decade ever for music! I thank God I grew up with this music!

[@geraldbaptie1728]

My wife and I bought an old camper when we were 28 and traveled all over the United States for over a year. I still think about that time as the best times of my life.

[@markavell7111]

Brings back the 70s and my school days. I wish i could meet BOO.

[@michaelwilson7475]

This working 9 to 4 is killing my spirit. This song from my childhood reminds me of what I’m missing.

[@racheleerickson4576]

I want to go back to this decade 😢

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

This song takes me back to the drifter lifestyle, travelling in my car from one place to another being free from the everyday life of my home. The difference is that I am carrying the memories of my deceased pet guinea pig Ronnie with me, and his photo sits alongside of me placed in front of my car's transmission stick.

[@johnrice4273]

Hope awesome is that??!!!!!

[@jackieguccione94]

How anyone not LUV this SONG

[@bethmccartney8371]

Will always love that song!

[@AutumnAngelAnn]

I remember my traveling days, and I had an Irish Setter named "Blue" so I'd always sing this song "Me and you and a dog named Blue" :)

[@Somewheremaybe]

+Ann Smithsonian :) I hope you have a pet now as I know how much you love animals :)

[@deanmashburn6829]

Thank God for KZbin brings back all the good memories that we never hear no more on the radio I guess you could say I'm old school I'm 63 years young but this is my music my day when I grew up music ain't the same anymore everything changes with time if you don't believe that look what happens to the Indians you stop progress

[@donaldloehr4300]

So very well put- I totally agree. Thank you and God Bless.

[@krmhayes2893]

True, music these days, at least as far as top forty is concerned, is just worthless urban ghetto trash.

[@RukarioEnterprisesLLC]

I am 22 years old and I was grown up around my dad (56 as of right now) and I love the 60s, 70s, and 80s music. It was way better. Songs had depth, songs had meanings. Now's music is crap and it's basically: "Oh, my girlfriend left me, a boo-a hoo-a! I wish we can go back in the 70s man...

[@marieholt690]

Really a great love song Wow

[@sawnose4775]

Oh how I wish they could make songs like this again. Nice job!

[@Somewheremaybe]

Thank you for your friendly visit, ....take good care. :)

[@lynnmann7371]

I agree!! 😊

[@johnrice4273]

I listened to this in Australia: graduated from high school, went to Australia, bought a motorcycle, did various jobs - spent 9 months down under. I was 18 - a motorcycle and no problems - I was a free man.

[@johnrice4273]

I grew up on Sasby Island, outside of Petersburg, graduated from Petersburg High School, Petersburg, Alaska…., freakin hoot it was!! Less than a year later

[@sparkysrun4274]

I remember this on the radio~ we stayed in a 62 gmc old forest service panel truck ~ had our dog & cat with us & we were pretty much living just like this song~ like a lot of us did. Really wonderful memories🥰💖😎🐾🐾

[@richardmoore2124]

Probably the most innocent song ever written. Where has this kind of music gone?

[@garrchristopher3950]

generation X here, people today are brainwashed to listen to junk music.

[@daryllawson9337]

This song was one of great when I was growing up and its still is a great song take me back to the 1970

[@ssQ2U]

My mom loved this song.

[@LyleKnisley]

Nice.

[@kathaislip6571]

[@gabrielshear4298]

I thank God I got to live through this era !. . I’d go back in a heartbeat !. . You can keep your cellphones and computers !. . I’ll take the 70s any day !. . Watch “That 70s Show” ; very close to the way it was !.

[@garygehrke6168]

this is truly, one of my best memorie,s of my youth, I was 6 year,s of age

[@tombante6934]

This great song topped out at #5 on the charts in April 1971. It was a very important time in my life and those memories come flooding back.

[@trentaccid2177]

This is a redo by Lobo you can tell.the difference from the original. Lobo is still great

[@punkbastid973]

Haven't heard this in years but a dog named Boo has been pawing at the back of my mind...

[@donabitebababa375]

Lol. Really, Punk? I only know what this song is very pretty! I love her and I love animals, cats, still more!

[@samporter8290]

That’s what I wanta do , be free again, I want to enjoy life I’m going to be 62 in a few days and I lost my brother at 62 he was 3 yrs older than me then his daughter died at 37 just 7 months after my brother, now I’m disabled and I want to enjoy what time I have left, it’ll be just me and my other brother and sparkplug my dog in my rv

[@josiespringfield4808]

Love this song.

[@annecyle]

Me and you and a dog named Boo… Take me back please….

[@AndreaWanting]

This song always brings joy to my heart. Thank you Glenn.

[@Somewheremaybe]

+Andrea Wanting Hi Andrea how are you ?, I am so happy you like it, thank you so much for taking your time and for encouraging me to put videos up again......take good care :)

[@donabitebababa375]

Very Pretty Song! I Remember me a bit!

[@lynnkanerva5005]

I was about 11 when this came out. My big brother Tommy was home from Montana for a visit , we went to a record store and he bought me the 45 of this. It was the last time I saw him.( He passed away later that year out west in a accident cutting trees :-( ) BUT its a fond memory of big brother - little sister time together ♥

[@robertclayton4933]

god bless lynn

[@lynnkanerva5005]

Awe, thank you ! That's SO sweet ! Thanks for the reply, and DO take good care of yourself :-)

[@robertclayton4933]

Lynn Kanerva......... You to Lynn

[@lynnkanerva5005]

Ray Thank you so much. It was a long time ago, still miss him, but still a fond memory. I'm the baby of the family, and have 3 sisters and 1 brother( I had another brother, he passed away in 1990 age 45). I live near my one sister, and 2 sisters and my brother live across the state, and we get together once or twice a year, we're still close. That's cute that your sisters called you their guard dog. Here's hoping they can continue calling you their "guard dog" for many years to come. Take care !

[@glennfjenkins2702]

I'm so sorry to hear that I hope things have worked out with you and your family since then God bless

[@renatobrunharo1501]

[@StevePainter54]

I can relate. Thank you youtube for providing an easy way to go back to high school days, even if it is only in our hearts and minds!

[@MartinDonald-gw7dn]

I feel so alive

[@johnmurphy5064]

Brings me right back to the Hardy’s backyard in suburban Boston and the neighborhood kids singing this song.

[@John-uf8ky]

Makes you feel good to listen to this.

[@andrewhowse2670]

What a awesome song about making beautiful lyrics

[@classickruzer1]

I liked the road signs ..Hwy 50 - Columbia - Centerville -- Middle Tennessee - My home place .. Not even close to Georgia.. AWESOME song though .. Funny that me and my girl ran away from home not 3 miles from that sign. We were teenage runaways in my 56 Chevy. Made it to Tampa, Fl.. It was fun while it lasted. Worked a little for food and gas along the way. Finally ran out of work, food, money and gas. Parked in an orange grove in Winterhaven with two flat tire and no spare. After a couple hours an angel stopped by and rescued us. Got me a job and a place to live. Then Uncle Sam came knocking and we had to take that Greyhound back to Hwy 50 - Columbia - Centerville -

[@BuriedFlame]

Huh. Always though the dog was named "Blue". And always thought it was "how I love you, my dream mare" instead of "how I love bein' a free man".

[@arriesone1]

Always thought it would have been better called Blue.

[@beatlesadeye4912]

[@maddogtannen1966]

I am able to catch some fall foliage here on Long Island, especially at the park. I love taking walks in the fall. But you are right. It's wonderful to be able to travel in the fall. Upstate NY is beautiful, as well as New England. I'm sure it's beautiful where you are too. Have a great weekend :)

This is far beyond great "road music". This is what America is all about. Helping people out regardless of their situation. Get caught robbing from a farmer, puttin in a hard days work and still gettin pad (tank of gas). Helping those in need is what this country is all about :)

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Magnificent .

Good song.

[@dougmontgomery1868]

I have practiced signing the lyrics--that is, doing them in ASL. The sign for "dog" is to pat the leg and snap the fingers.
