about

written with Jaime's favorite co-writer, his late dog Sam...

lyrics

i live on a dirt road
i've got me a good dog
my baby loves me
and still i complain
i don't understand it
the sky could not be more blue
i'm walking in sunshine
thinking about rain

now you'd think i’d know better
being quite the smart fellow
tell me your problems
i'll fix you right up
but I'm a little funny
when it comes to my life
i was born to worry
am i worried enough?

face in the mirror
judge and jury
finds me guilty
of most everything I feel
i wake up in the morning
tired as an old boat
adrift on a river
with no paddle wheel

even when i’m happy
i sense the danger
the invisible sorrow
hiding in the joy
i want to thank my mother
and sister mary aloysius
for making me the good man
who will always be that boy

face in the mirror
judge and jury
find me guilty
of most everything I feel
i wake up in the morning
tired as an old boat
adrift on a river
with no paddle wheel

every time I say "i love you"
i get a little bit nervous
she's going to laugh
and it's going to break my heart
and then she says "I love you, too"
and the dark clouds drift away
momentary rainbows
like they’ve been there from the start

i live on a dirt road
i've got me a good dog
and my baby loves me
yeah, my baby loves me
she loves me and my good dog
we’re a couple of lucky dogs
in love with my baby….
