Lyrics
Lucky Dog
Sometimes I try too hard to analyze my life
Measuring my every move leaves me paralyzed
There's a far away horizon
I'm always striving to reach
Maybe everything I need to see is right in front of me
Looking out over the ocean
My dog is digging in the sand
He could care less about castles
Whether they fall or stand
I should be so lucky
Never wanting more
Chasing every stick
And never getting bored
Always in the moment sure that nothing could go wrong
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky dog
Just look at him rolling around
Splashing in the surf
He'll take on every wave
Not afraid of getting hurt
Keeping it all so simple
Eating and sleeping all day
But you can bet it's all or nothing
When he takes that leap of faith
I should be so lucky
Never wanting more
Chasing every stick
And never getting bored
Always in the moment sure that nothing could go wrong
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky dog
You know dog is god spelled backwards
And he's also man's best friend
I just wanna be the person my dog thinks I am
I should be so lucky
Never wanting more
Chasing every stick
And never getting bored
Always in the moment sure that nothing could go wrong
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky dog
