Still Beating Josh Ritter

I know the dog days of the summer
Have you ten-to-one outnumbered
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
And your heart's still beating

I know the dog days of the summer
Have you ten-to-one outnumbered
It seems like everybody else saw
Trouble sneaking up behind
They left you half dead in the street
But that just means you’re half alive
And your heart’s still beating

Still beating, still beating
Still beating, still beating
Still beating, still beating
And your heart’s still beating
Yeah
