My Dog Songtext
von Carrie Newcomer

I have a grey old dog
Who loves me more than bones
She′s seen my best and worst
And still calls me her very own
She doesn't think I need a Nobel prize
I′m just fine in her eyes
Heaven help anyone who tries
To tell her something less
She's just not impressed

I'm doing the best I can
At least that′s what I plan
I′m trying to be the person that
My dog thinks I am


There's room to improve my mother used to say
Don′t let big dogs get you down or get in your way
It just takes a little spit and shine
A little patience a little time
And when in doubt just be kind
Even to yourself
Not just everyone else

I'm doing the best I can
At least that′s what I plan
I'm trying to be the person that
My dog thinks I am

Though she′s not the sharpest crayon
My dog loves me as I am
Unenlightened or attuned
She still thinks I hang the moon

I thought I might skip the middle of the book
Blow past all those pages without a single look
Even when it's hard to see
I'm right where I need to be
We all learn to some degree
One step at a time
And this step is mine

I′m doing the best I can
At least that′s what I plan
I'm trying to be the person that
My dog thinks I am
