Dog Years from Muskegon EP by Jack Droppers & The Best Intentions

Old dog is jumping straight on through
the leaves that you raked onto
the other side of the yard and you
are full of smiles

I heard the news through a photograph
I spent those times tryin' to make you laugh
Now I'm looking straight on back
to time well spent

All I've ever known
is all you've ever shown
we're under that overpass just feeling overgrown
and full of love

We'll sing and dance to the songs we know
like that old hymnal resting on the piano
my mother's mother Mary passed down
down to us

And there's the cookbook that you'll read to me
it sounds quite like a symphony
passed down through your own family tree
with a blue table cloth

I stole a pen from the bank so I
could write you letters from the sky
like these old blurry photographs of mine
from distant continents

we'll tell stories just like old daydreams
they sound just like dog years whispered to me
or like all the dirt that's resting beneath
these fingernails
