[Verse 1]
Frances
She was amazing
She held my hand in times like this
She dances
Under the strobe lights
She called me handsome on nights like this

[Pre-Chorus]
But, at the end of the day
What's my mother gonna say when I come home crying?
At the end of the day
I'm just happy I can say she was mine

[Chorus]
Hey-hey, oh-oh
The dog days, the rides home
The tall cans, the long nights
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't push you outta thе spotlight
I don't know why I still can't get it right

[Verse 2]
Frances
She lovеd the pine trees
Would swing from the branches
On days like this
Dances
Under the moonlight
I'd make advances
When midnight hit
[Pre-Chorus]
But, at the end of the day
What's my mother gonna say when I come home crying?
At the end of the day
I'm just happy I can say she was mine

[Chorus]
Hey-hey (Hey-hey), oh-oh (Oh-oh)
The dog days (The dog days), the rides home (The rides home)
The tall cans (The tall cans), the long nights (The long nights)
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't push you outta the spotlight
I don't know why I still can't get it right

[Bridge]
And every letter in her name
Every smile on her face was a silver lining
What's there really left to say?
I'm just thinking of the days we were fine

[Chorus]
Hey-hey (Hey-hey), oh-oh (Oh-oh)
The dog days (The dog days), the rides home (The rides home)
The tall cans (The tall cans), the long nights (The long nights)
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't push you outta the spotlight
I don't know why I still can't get it right
[Outro]
I don't know why I still can't get it right
(Hmm-mm, hmm, yeah)
