Story Behind The Song

This song was inspired by our 3 dogs - always so grateful for every little thing in life.

Lyrics

14 feet patter down the stairs, 12 are canine, the other my pair
It's a free for all when they see I got the tennis ball
Try stay calm out to the picket fence
But they're bucking and they're bouncing, they can't take the suspense
So I let it sail, they're off like they broke outta jail
They got no regard for their own welfare
They'd run through a brick wall without a care
Well, the first to the prize gets to bring it back brimming with pride
I mean it when I say, "we're done, we're going in - one more time, but that is the end."
Then I throw it again, and again, and again

Chorus 1
Never has it failed, they're as happy as 3 dogs, with 6 tails
Begging for more like they've never played this game before

14 feet patter down the staircase, they're calm relaxed as the sun slips away
Then they lose their minds when they hear me say "it's suppertime"
It's the same exact food from the same exact bag they had yesterday and the day before that
Don't tell them they think it's from a 5 star kitchen

Chorus 2
Never has it failed, they're as happy as 3 dogs with 6 tails
Begging for more like they've never had a meal before

Bridge:
Meanwhile I complain about the daily rigmarole
How could I be so utterly ungrateful?

Never has it failed
They're as happy as 3 dogs with 6 tails,
Begging more like they've never lived a day before
