Country
Dog Years
by HARDY
Lyrics
I was a blacktop traveler
An accident waiting to happen
And 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
Yeah 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
Mmm
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
