Still Beating - Josh Ritter

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
