The Dogs Lyrics by Justin Wells

Dawn in the Distance

2016

[Verse 1]
It's a nasty way of livin' sometimes
My jar ain't holdin' a single dime
My glass is holdin' the last thing I wanna do
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna drink every dime I make tonight
I'll die just to get a room
It's a bad, bad business, this trying to forget you
[Chorus]
Well our souls are a little older
But you can't tell we learned a thing
If there's twelve that got invited
We're thirteen
We're the last one to know it's over
And the first one to have to beg
We're the dog that crawled for miles on broken legs
We're the dregs
[Verse 3]
I've pawned everything I've ever owned
Just to drive eight hours to this barroom show
To play this songs and to pray for a friendly face
[Verse 4]
It ain't easy acting like it ain't personal
And the band asked me not to curse no more
So I'll sing all the sad ones and lean on these mad ones, okay
[Chorus]
Well our souls are a little older
But you can't tell we learned a thing
If there's twelve that got invited
We're thirteen
We're the last one to know it's over
And the first one to have to beg
We're the dog that crawled for miles on broken legs
We're the dregs
[Verse 5]
Now the parkin' lot is an ol' ghost town
No evidence anyone has ever been around
'Cept a handful of gravel and a half pint of somethin' mean
[Verse 6]
So I'll retreat somewhere and cover my wounds
And pray to God that the checkout's noon
If there's any luck left, it'll be at halfway clean
[Chorus]
Well our souls are a little older
But you can't tell we learned a thing
If there's twelve that got invited
We're thirteen
We're the last one to know it's over
And the first one to have to beg
We're the dog that crawled for miles on broken legs
We're the dregs
We’re the dregs
We’re the dregs
We’re the dregs
