[INTRO GUITAR] [VERSE] Last leaves of fall gone didn’t know what to expect a chilly November day nothin much left to say [VERSE] how is it people change just because they can can’t be a better man now just because of a dog [VERSE] can’t say he taught me anything but God sings in quiet ways then there’s those days when maybe I’m ready to listen [CHORUS] I can still see his dopey face flopping in the wind can’t wait to gettin’ somewhere new maybe a swim or a new friend and then there’s the sunshine all the time all the time [VERSE] didn’t learn patience after all the dumb stuff he did didn’t learn loyalty after he defended me [VERSE] No way he taught me joy even if everybody was his buddy I already knew about presence before he rolled in the grass [VERSE] I already knew persistence though he chased that ball till he couldn’t Didn’t learn friendship watching him chase my truck [CHORUS] I can still see his dopey face flopping in the wind can’t wait to gettin’ somewhere new maybe a swim or a new friend and then there’s the sunshine all the time all the time [VERSE] I was already courageous before he chased a whole pack of cai otes didn’t need a lesson on toughness playing right past the wounds [VERSE] Already knew how to laugh before he stole that guys lunchbox Didn’t need a lesson on fear watching him bounce off a car [VERSE] Already knew about family when he howled every day we were gone I knew all about trust before my hand felt him rest [CHORUS] I can still see his dopey face flopping in the wind can’t wait to gettin’ somewhere new maybe a swim or a new friend and then there’s the sunshine all the time all the time [OUTRO] never learned anything he was just a dog
