I know the dog days of the summer
|
Have you ten-to-one out-numbered
|
Seems like everybody up and left and they're not coming back
|
The shadow that you're standing on's still here sometimes that's all that you
|
can ask
|
And your heart's still beating
|
|
You're not the fastest draw in town now
|
How many times you been shot down now?
|
Seems like everybody else could see the things you never did
|
But if you could yourself you'd probably never have made it through the things
|
you did
|
With your heart still beating
|
|
I know the dog days of the summer Have you ten-to-one out-numbered
|
It seems like everybody else saw trouble sneaking up behind
|
Left you half dead in the street but that just means you're half alive
|
And your heart's still beating
|
|

Still Beating
