Dog Years

Legend of my childhood
Hero of the farm
I used to climb on your back
And you'd carry a good luck charm

How have you grown so old
When we started our lives together
At the end of the road
I just wish you could live forever
How have you grown so old my friend

The aching bones you rest upon
With the rest of your time
When a new one you could bite on
Is still what consumes your mind

I used lay right next to you
When you were scared in your kennel
Wait for me till school was through
My my number one friend I could count on

How have you grown so old
When we started our lives together
At the end of the road
I just wish you could live forever
How have you grown so old my friend

Legend of my childhood
Hero of the farm
Just a dog I used to know
And I was your good luck charm

When I moved away
I should've taken you with me
Because where I went, I didn't change
But you're too old for remembering

A nose that doesn't work
And clouds sit in your eyes
Time it wasn't kind to you
But I hope I'm a good surprise

Yeah if you don't see much else
When you close your eyes
I hope the last hand that you felt
Was a good enough surprise
