Dog Years - Daddy Issues

Back into town for a minute to pick up prescriptions The doctor refilled yesterday To call it affliction's a careless description Of the terrible itch in my brain The pharmacy opens at six in the morning I don't start my day until two I'll be there after sunset when everyone's just left And hope I don't run into you I do Oh, I do And since the minute I got here, been aging in dog years I'm watching time speed to help God, you look like a stranger I knew you in the summer Guess that's just the winter's fault Haven't seen you around since your father skipped town Had to hear it from one of your friends Think the last time I saw him, he kissed both our foreheads And I fell asleep in your bed Five years I tried to be soundless to keep you around But I always had too much to say Now I feel like a failure for standing in line here And daring to take up your space

When I look back on what I done About 100 years from now Gonna cry myself to sleep at night Somebody shows me how Uh huh When the sun shines down whats left of me About 100 years from now Gonna cut my water with a rebel yell And claw my way back to town 100 years 100 years They'll break me But I'll break them too Oh and this years for the brakemen And this one is for you When sky cracks open and the thunder comes About 100 years from now Gonna bury this old yoke and chain In the cold wet ground And when I get off at Tennebrook Farm About 100 years from now I'm gonna marry you out of common sense And get out from behind this plow 100 years 100 years They'll break me But I'll break them too Oh and this years for the brakemen And this one is for you 100 years 100 years They'll break me But I'll break them to Oh and this year's for the brakemen And this one is for you

I count my time in dog years Swimming in sevens Slow dancing in seconds Oh, and I'm the one that loves you Oh, and I'm the one that loves you I spend my time daydreaming As sure as the sea It's just you and me Oh, and I'm the one that loves you Oh, and I'm the one that loves you And if you had a bad week Just let me touch your cheek Oh, and I'll be there waiting When you get frustrated I know things are changing But, darling, I'm saying I'll be singing you in all of my songs Come what may I'll still stay Inside your mind For all of time Singing, ooh We will be alright In the afterlife Of all that is shifting And shaking my system I know your rhythm And I know, I know, I know, I know That I'm the one that loves you Oh, and I'm the one that loves you And if you had a bad week Then I'll sing you to sleep Oh, and I'll be there waiting If you start to get jaded I know things are changing But, darling, I'm saying I've been here all along Come what may I'll still stay Inside your mind For all of time Singing, ooh We will be alright Not in vain We'll still stay the same Inside your mind For all of time Singing, ooh We will be alright In the afterlife In the afterlife I count my time in dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years We will be alright (dog years, dog years) We will be alright (dog years, dog years) In the afterlife (dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years) Singing, baby, we will be alright (dog years, dog years) We will be alright We will be alright
