Dog Years

歌詞

I was a blacktop traveler, an accident waiting to happen Thank God you and your daddy pulled over and let that tailgate down Never would I have imagined when you set me up in the back of that truck I fell in the hands of a new best friend, looking back at it now That was the best life I could ask for Bruises and cuts and covered in mud And feet up on the dashboard Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world And you and me made a good team You took me in when I didn't have a prayer That was the best life I could ask for Now that I'm looking back on those dog years Something about those little things, flathead cats on a riverbank Chasing white tail deer, stealin' your dad's beer, you'd pour a little on the ground for me And who could forget that first kiss? Come to think of it, man, I'm sure I convinced her When she asked if you were next after I laid one on her cheek Yeah, that was the best life I could ask for Bruises and cuts and covered in mud And feet up on the dashboard Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world And you and me made a good team You took me in when I didn't have a prayer That was the best life I could ask for Now that I'm looking back on those dog years And right now I know you're fightin' a lot of feelings, starin' at me Knowin' this time when you scratch my head, it'll probably be the last But if I could speak your language, all that I would do is thank you For the best years, though they went by seven times too fast That was the best life I could ask for Bruises and cuts and covered in mud And feet up on the dashboard Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world And you and me made a good team You took me in when I didn't have a prayer That was the best life I could ask for The best life I could ask for The best life I could ask for Now that I'm looking back on those dog years All those dog years
