[Verse 1]
Welcome to dog days, darling
Welcome to hard times, too
All the tumultuous times of my stubborn youth
Just the trouble in you

[Verse 2]
I was born in dog days, darling
I ain’t ever eat from a silver spoon
All this bureaucratic, gotta-have-it, service-level s*it’s
Got me feeling blue

[Chorus]
On the day I was born
They told me I was never gonna be something
Gotta make it through them dog days, darling
If you wanna go far, then you gotta go long
But I ain’t a boy, darling, I’m all the way grown

[Verse 3]
Welcome to hard work, brother
Welcome to me working harder
Welcome to me being stronger for longer and always going just a little bit farther
Let me tell you about the dog days, darling
Let me tell you about writing a song
Let me tell you about writing things down your whole life just to spend it
Righting your wrongs

[Verse 4]
Welcome to dog days, darling
Welcome to young manhood
Welcome to everything you ever said, everything you ever did, been misunderstood

[Chorus]
On the day I was born
They told me I was never gonna be something
Gotta make it through them dog days, darling

If you wanna go far, then you gotta go long
But I ain’t a boy, darling, I’m all the way grown

[Outro]
But I ain’t a boy, darling, I’m all the way grown
But I ain’t a boy, darling, I’m all the way grown
But I ain’t a boy, darling, I am all the way grown
