I don't know why It seems like lately Things are going my way. Everywhere trouble avoids me And I'm a wasted man and I'm hammered all day. Fortune smiles It's summer time (or another) And the sun may shine where it rains. For some people It takes no effort, As if luck runs in their veins. Ehey, heey, Every dog has its day, And anyway, Mine is, Mine's today. When the first cards were delt Surely this country got an ace, But we deserve it, Of course we deserve it! Our forefathers built this place. So of all the things we could be doing Now there is nothing that we lack, All we care about Is that America loves us back. Ehey, heey, Every dog has its day, And anyway, Mine is, Mine's today. Sometimes you might think you are Young, good luck, and evil. And all these things are only because 'Good things happen to good people' No, I say... Hey, hey, heey, Every dog has its day, And anyway, Mine is today. Hey, hey, heey, Every dog has its day, And anyway, Mine is, Mine, Mine is today.

I was hangin' out a last night at the top cat when the band slowed down to Merle Man I hit it 'cross the bar room trying to find my baby girl Some drunk tried to punk me, and ask my baby "do you dance" she said "yes I do, but not with you, I'm waitin' on my man" See every dog has it's day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone One moment in the sunshine when your ducks lined up in a row Lucky dog get a big ol' bed, stray dog gets the porch Every dog has it's day dog, but today dog just aint yours Well I flipped her around and I kissed her and she said lets do one more And we were half way through a two step when he stepped out on the floor He jerked me back and said "im cuttin' in, girl lets docee do" she doubled up her fist and caught him right square on the nose Every dog has it's day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone One moment in the sunshine when the ducks line up in a row Lucky dog gets a big ol' bed, stray dog gets the porch Every dog has it's day dog, but today dog just aint yours Fat dog, skinny dog, little itty bitty dog, hot dog, kurd dog, weenie dog, bird dog, hound dog, cow dog, bow wow wow dog, wonder dog, barkin' dog, chasing' parked car dog.

It's taste was sweet like summer wine, The heart that beats in double time. So he waltzed right in, he bowled you over, And you're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone. The door is closed, the lock is turned, And all the memories and letters have been burned. So when you pick the handsome flower Don't forget the thorn upon the rose! It's cut is deep and it's scar lasts forever, It follows love whereever love goes. Just how we fall it's hard to know When what we feel we seldom show. So we show the parts we feel are best, We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest. You think you know him and he thinks the same, When underneath it all it's just a crazy guessing game So when you pick the handsome flower Don't forget the thorn upon the rose! It's cut is deep and it's scar lasts forever It follows love whereever love goes. Win or lose it's just the same - Tears of joy tears of pain: They're hand in hand, they come as one You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun! For all the bruises for all the blows - I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose! So when you pick the handsome flower Don't forget the thorn upon the rose! It's cut is deep and it's scar lasts forever It follows love whereever love goes. It follows love whereever love goes.

Eyes are strange, they say everything While our mouths, they just try to sing Singing something I can live for Fall forever and ever So I try to understand it all But I fail to live it up I'm still standing here forever Without sunshine in my mind Yeah, I've been alive But I've been a liar Yeah, I've been alive But I've been a liar There's some kind of love That's so much higher Yeah, I've been alive But I've been a liar I've seen death, I've seen truth I've heard lies, I've seen birth too I've seen happiness, I've seen pain And I've seen the sun come up And I've kissed the moon I've heard voices through the wall I've seen figures in my bed I feel protected by things I don't understand And that's more than you could say Yeah, I've been alive But I've been a liar Yeah, I've been alive But I've been a liar There's some kind of love That's so much higher Yeah, I've been alive But I've been a liar

Time when we're gonna breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Till the dance floor falls apart Uh, oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go, oh, oh Wish it would never end Spending time with my friends Oh, with my friends Breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Till the dance floor falls apart Uh, oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go Breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Till the dance floor falls apart Uh, oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go, oh, oh

I'm writing down my dreams, all I'd like to see Starting with the bees or else they're gonna die There won't be no trees or air for us to breathe I'll start feeling mad, but then I feel inspired Thinking about the days coming home with dirty feet From playing with my dad all day in the creek He somehow has a way of knowing what to say So when I'm feeling sad, he makes me feel inspired We are meant for more You're the handle on the door that opens up to change I know that sounds so strange, to think We are meant for more Pull the handle on the door that opens up to change I know that sounds so strange 'Cause you've always felt so small, but know you aren't at all And I hope you feel inspired Oh, I hope you feel inspired How can we escape all the fear and all the hate? Is anyone watching us down here? Death is life, it's not a curse Reminds us of time and what it's worth To make the most out of it while we're here We are meant for more Pull the handle on the door that opens up to change I know it sounds so strange We are meant for more There's a lock upon the door, but we hold the key to change But how can we escape all the fear and all the hate? Is anyone watching us down here?
