Like a Dog

It can be a good life
Though you never really did try
Always leaning on the back foot
Telling everyone you're a dreamer

So you just light up another cigarette,
And you get real drunk
Telling everyone you ever met,
That you were born to be someone

Well I know you're loyal as a dog
And you've been through hell
But that's no excuse to lay down just yet
And all the while, ain't getting younger
And I see you're looking around,
Like you're owed something
And I don't owe you a god damn thing
And all the while, ain't getting younger

So you just drift by a chip on your shoulder
But you don't know why
Compass is broke, and you're finding it hard to breathe

So you just give up,
You find another hole, and you get fucked up
Telling everyone you ever met,
That you were born to be someone

Well I know you're loyal as a dog
And you've been through hell
But that's no excuse to lay down just yet
And all the while, ain't getting younger
And I see you're looking around, like you're owed something
And I don't owe you a god damn thing
And all the while, ain't getting younger

Yes, I know youre hellbent on your own (Ohhhhhh)
You're never gonna know,
You're never gonna know it again (Ohhhhhh)
Its different when youre young
You're hard and wild and living like it never would end (Ohhhhh)
But all this time it's the same old line
Same old story again
Over again

I know you're loyal as a dog
And you've been through hell
And that's no excuse to lay down just yet
And all the while, ain't getting younger
And I see you're looking around, like you're owed something
And I don't owe you a god damn thing
And all the while, ain't getting younger

I know you're loyal as a dog
And you've been through hell
But that's no excuse to lay down just yet
And all the while, ain't getting younger
And I see you're looking around, like you're owed something
And I don't owe you a god damn thing

And all the while, ain't getting younger
And all the while, ain't getting younger
And all the while, ain't getting younger
