I was a blacktop traveler
A accident waiting to happen Thank God you and your daddy pulled over
And let that tailgate down
It never would I have imagined
When you set me up in the back of that truck
I'd fell in the hands of a new best friend
And 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
Big enough girls not worryin' 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-tailed deer Stealing your dad's beard
You poor 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 Big enough girls not worryin' 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
And right now I know you're fighting A lot of feelings staring at me
Knowing 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
But that was the best life I could ask
for Bruises and cuts and covered in mud
And feet up on the dashboard Big enough girls not worryin' 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
