I Brake for Lost Dogs and Killin' Time

I saw a bumper sticker on an old rusted van
It said "I brake for lost dogs and old beer cans"
Made me smile, then I hit the brakes
Guess I'm that kind of guy who believes in fate
Passed a hitchhiker with a cardboard plea
"Headed anywhere, got nowhere to be"
I gave him a wave, but kept drivin' along
Guess we're all just searching for where we belong
I don't know where I'm headed, but I'll get there soon
With a dashboard saint and a cracked old tune
That sticker said it best, in words so fine
"I brake for lost dogs and killin' time"

I saw a diner sign that said "Best pie in the state"
But I ain't got the time, I'll just have to wait
Life's a greasy spoon with a side of regret
I'll take a pass Alice, I ain't hungry yet
Pulled off the highway at a little rest stop
Bought a cold coke a cola and broke the pop-top
Stood behind the john, watched the sun sink low
Guess we're all just looking the things we don't know
I don't know where I'm headed, but I'll get there soon
With a dashboard saint and a cracked old tune
That sticker said it best, in words so fine
"I brake for lost dogs and killin' time" (Yeah)
Life's like the highway, with stops and starts
Sometimes smooth sailing sometimes a parking lot
I don't know where I'm headed, but I'll be just fine
With a half-tank of hope and a crooked line
That sticker said it best, it ain't no crime
"I brake for lost dogs and killin' time" (One more time)
"I brake for lost dogs and killin' time"
