Dog Years Songtext
von HARDY

I was a blacktop traveler, an accident waitin′ 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, lookin' 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 lookin′ back on those dog years

Somethin′ about those little things, flathead cats on a riverbank
Chasin' 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 lookin′ back on those dog years

Mm-mm

And right now I know you′re fightin' a lotta 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 lookin' back on those dog years
All those dog years
