Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a blacktop traveler, an accident waiting to happen
Thank God you and your daddy pulled over and let that tailgate down
Never would I have imagined when you set me up in the back of that truck
I fell in the hands of a new best friend, looking back at it now
[Chorus]
That was the best life I could ask for
Bruises and cuts and covered in mud
And feet up on the dashboard
Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
And you and me made a good team
You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
That was the best life I could ask for
Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
[Verse 2]
Something about those little things, flathead cats on a riverbank
Chasing white tail deer, stealin' your dad's beer, you'd pour a little on the ground for me
And who could forget that first kiss? Come to think of it, man, I'm sure I convinced her
When she asked if you were next after I laid one on her cheek
[Chorus]
Yeah, that was the best life I could ask for
Bruises and cuts and covered in mud
And feet up on the dashboard
Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
And you and me made a good team
You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
That was the best life I could ask for
Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
[Bridge]
And right now I know you're fightin' a lot of feelings, starin' at me
Knowin' this time when you scratch my head, it'll probably be the last
But if I could speak your language, all that I would do is thank you
For the best years, though they went by seven times too fast
[Chorus]
That was the best life I could ask for
Bruises and cuts and covered in mud
And feet up on the dashboard
Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
And you and me made a good team
You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
That was the best life I could ask for
The best life I could ask for
The best life I could ask for
Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
All those dog years
