She Showed Up

Lyrics

I heard her coming down the street
The same old rumble, the same heartbeat
A little house that rolls on wheels
Carrying things I never feel

I don't know diesel
I don't know cost
I don't know all the sleep she's lost

I only know she came again
And called me softly like a friend


A dog don't know
About payments due
Broken generators
Or schedules to get through

A dog don't know
What keeps you awake

A dog just knows

You showed up


Some days the rain comes pouring down
Some days the wheels don't leave the town
Some days the road is long and slow
Some days you're running on empty hope

The people see a little van
I see the person with the steady hands

The one who waits
The one who stays
The one who somehow comes anyway


A dog don't know
About traffic jams
Messages waiting
Or changing plans

A dog don't know
How hard it's been

A dog just knows

You came again


I don't know what they said about price
I don't know if they were kind

I don't know the calls
You answer late

I don't know the weight
You carry home

I only know

When you arrive

The world feels smaller

And I'm alright


A dog don't know
About business plans
Van repairs
Or helping hands

A dog don't know
What nobody sees

A dog just knows

You came for me

You always came for me


The world sees a mobile groomer

I see my person

And I was waiting

For you
