Zach Bryan Dog Days Lyrics

[Intro: Ben Mendelsohn]
You know somethin', Luke?
If you ride like lightin', you're gonna crash like thunder

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the dog days, darlin'
Welcome to hard times, too
Are the tumultuous times of my troubled youth
Just a-troublin' you?

[Verse 2]
I was born in the dog days, darlin'
I ain't ever eat from no silver spoon
All this bureaucratic, gotta-have-it, surface-level shit's
Got me feelin' blue

[Chorus]
On the day I was born
They told me I would never be somethin'
Gotta make it through them dog days, darlin'
If you wanna go far, then you oughta go alone
But I ain't a boy, darlin', I'm all the way grown

[Verse 3]
Welcome to hard work, brother
Welcome to me workin' harder
Welcome to me bein' stronger for longer And always goin' just a little bit farther
Let me tell you 'bout the dog days, darlin'
Let me tell you about writin' a song
Let me tell you about writin' things down your whole life
Just to spend it rightin' your wrongs

[Verse 4]
Welcome to the dog days, darlin'
Welcome to young manhood
Welcome to everything you ever said and everything you ever did
Been misunderstood

[Chorus]
On the day I was born
They told me I would never be somethin'
Gotta make it through them dog days, darlin'
If you wanna go far, then you oughta go alone
But I ain't a boy, darlin', I'm all the way grown
I ain't a boy, darlin', I'm all the way grown
I ain't a boy, darlin', I'm all the way grown
I ain't a boy, darlin', I'm all the way grown
