Karaoké Dog Years HARDY

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

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

Hmm

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
