Dog Days Lyrics - Singles - Atlanta Rhythm Section

Paper fans in sweaty hands 

Shooing flies away 

Reflections on a porch 

A shelter from the scorch 

When dog days came around 

Babies squalled as August crawled 

Past old folks in the shade 

The weather vane was stuck 

And white oak creek would drop 

When dog days came around

The dog days were scorchers 

Southern torture 

But we found an answer to the plight 

It was a dog day's night 

Evening brings a front porch scene 

But time to rest your bones 

And pray you won't be here 

Come this time next year 

When dog old days come along 

The dog days were scorchers 

Southern torture 

But we found an answer to the plight 

It was a dog day's night 

Photos 

The dog days were scorchers 

Southern torture 

But we found an answer to the plight 

It was a dog day's night 

Oh, yeah, more dog days oh, yeah
