lyrics

Hey little sister it’ll be okay
You can’t train a dog in his old age
But you can still throw that old dog a bone

Don’t you worry don’t you cry
Daddy’s always gonna’ be by your side
No matter if he stays or if he goes
And it’s looking like he’s ready to hit the road

You had it tough growing up
I can’t say that I helped too much
But I’m here now with a warm shoulder

If you need to let it out
If you just need to just scream and shout
Well I’ll scream at the top of my lungs with ya
And we won’t stop to til’ the cops come get us

Oh, is this life as we know it
Don’t I get back all I gave
I’ve been digging so damn hard
Trying to escape my shallow grave
Where I was born to spend my days

Hey little sister let me see you smile
You’ve always been such a beautiful child
Ain’t no need for that sullen grin

So this burden carries you
Like you ain’t got nothing better to do
Chew your tongue to the bitter end
All for someone who hardly even gave a damn

Oh, is this life as we know it
Don’t I get back all I gave
I’ve been digging so damn hard
Trying to escape my shallow grave
Where I was born to spend my days

And we’ll climb mountains of prayer atone our sins
And when the scene unfolds our hearts will beat again
Both players cast for mistaken parts
Where the audience laughs before the tragedy starts
And the ghost of our name’s fate will taunt our tomb
But you won’t see his face but he’ll see you

And I won’t stop the cops come get us
Through all the backstreets, honey tonks and my east coast haunts
And the wheels of justice will flying skip
And the fish will haunt back you over the moon
But I won’t stay down, I said I won’t stay down, I won’t, won’t stay down

Oh, is this life as we know it
Oh, is this life as we know it

Hey little sister it’ll be okay
You can’t train a dog in his old age
But you can still throw that old dog a bone

You had it tough growing up
I can't say that I helped you much
But it looks like it's time for me to come on home
