Låttexter: Josh Ritter. Still Beating.

I know the dog days of the summer
Have you ten-to-one out-numbered
Seems like everybody up and left and they're not coming back The shadow that you're standing on's still here
Sometimes that's all that you can ask
And your heart's still beating

You're not the fastest draw in town now
How many times you been shot down now?
Seems like everybody else could see the things you never did But if you could yourself
You'd probably never have made it through the things you did

With your heart still beating

I know the dog days of the summer
Have you ten-to-one out-numbered
It seems like everybody else saw trouble sneaking up behind Left you half dead in the street
But that just means you're half alive
And your heart's still beating
