When an old dog's day's arrivin
You cannot go a drivin
Cause that dog's gonna eat all your stash
Hide that special brownie away
Cig that's saved for a rainy day
And hope you'll happen upon nothin too rash
When an old dog's day's arrivin
You cannot go a drivin
Cause that dog's gonna eat all your stash
Still the happy old pup you remember
Just droolin in the middle of a bender
But still part of the family, that crazy hound
Get the mandolin a playin
While that favorite mutt's a bayin
Cause he's trippin out on all that he found
When an old dog's day's arrivin
You cannot go a drivin
Cause that dog's gonna eat all of your stash
I'm at the top of the world, always behind you in arms,
And watching you leave us behind, seemingly no matter the harm.
It's a shame that we've split, a powerhouse lost to misdirection,
But I'll find a way, as always, with my own perception
Been a long time since I've felt this urge
A long time coming, life's calling for a surge
A surge of reflection and deep introspection
Burning still the ashes, phoenix rising from charred renovation.
And so tomorrow the sun will rise in the East
Into the belly with you I'll defend against the beast
I'll show you the way out of the cave that's so effortlessly dark
But I won't sacrifice myself to fix your sullen bark
Been a long time since I've felt this urge
A long time coming, life's calling for a surge
A surge of reflection, deep introspection
Burning still the ashes, phoenix rising from charred renovation.
Will you realize what's been wrong?
Will you listen to this man's song?
Will you take a moment and reflect?
Will you change and redirect?
Been a long time since I've felt this urge
A long time coming, life's calling for a surge
A surge of reflection, deep introspection
Burning still the ashes, phoenix rising from charred renovation
I'm not afraid to admit I'm afraid
I'm a man who knows he's just a man
There's Too much pain and suffering in this fuckin world
Too much destructive disdain from everywhere unfurled
You know you can let your tears loose
You know that I'm right here in the room
I'm just not ready to say goodbye
And yet I'm not afraid of the otherside
The past few years have shown me the good
Hindered no less in a vast ocean misunderstood
I've heard so many that poured out their heart
And they all matter to me, whether here or in past depart
You know you can let your tears loose
You know that I'm right here in the room
I'm just not ready to say goodbye
And yet I'm not afraid of the otherside
I can feel the color leave
I can see the pain subside
I can hear your peace now
And you can taste your freedom
You know you can let your tears loose
You know that I'm right here in the room
I'm just not ready to say goodbye
And yet I'm not afraid of the otherside
When an old dog's day's arrivin
You cannot go a drivin
Cause that dog's gonna eat all your stash
