Girl And Her Dog

歌詞

Everyone asks when you're growing up Who do you want to be I never had an answer, couldn't figure out Why I couldn't see Myself as some future other No one's partner no one's mother No one's answer no one's lover Nobody but me But the older I get the more I see That more by itself never worked for me Keeping it simple as it can be Walking along just him and me Mornings here with a coffee cup Songs in my head, looking up If the rain holds off we'll be in luck But we're lucky anyway A long time ago I got married once Didn't take long to find That the words I heard coming out of his mouth Were not the truthful kind I thought about moving to LA Maybe upstate or the UK Anywhere as long as it's far away From what I left behind And the older I get the more I'm sure That more by itself never was a cure Some days I've got nothing to show for except Walking the dog and walking the floor Mornings here with a coffee cup Stories in my head, looking up If the rain holds off we'll be in luck But we're lucky anyway In summer neighbors leave tomatoes In fall dust coats your tires Spring greens up every shadow In December we lay a fire I figure I'm finally old enough To know who I want to be when I grow up A girl and her dog riding in the truck Wave as we're going by Now the older I get the less I need Just a good old dog underneath the trees Keeping it simple as it can be Fitting together like a puzzle piece Mornings here with a coffee cup Whistling for him while I'm looking up If the rain holds off we'll be in luck But we're lucky anyway We're lucky anyway
