Draggin' The River

[Verse 1]

Hey, baby I just asked your daddy

If I could take your hand

He said, "Boy, over my dead body"

Guess I aren’t his kind of man

But I love you and you love me

So, baby I got to plan

We'll push my truck off of Red Top Bridge

Right below the Jackson Dam

[Chorus]

Hey, they'll be dragging the river

Catching nothing but an old catfish

They'll be dragging the river

That'll show that son of a bitch

[Verse 2]

It's been raining for the last two weeks

So the water's up good and high

We'll just wait 'til it's good n' late

So there aren’t nobody passing by

I'll call my cousin

He'll pick us up an' take us to the Greyhound Bus

We'll be standing in front of that preacher

By the time they're looking for us

[Chorus]

And they'll be dragging the river

But they aren’t going to find a thing

They'll be dragging the river

I'll be wearing me a diamond ring

Ah, we're going to show them

[Verse 3]

I know that it might sound crazy

Just a little bit too extreme

But to get some of your sweet loving

Baby, I'd do anything

Sooner or later

They'll find my letter saying that we're alright

We'll be rocking at the Red Roof Inn

This time tomorrow night

[Chorus]

And they'll be dragging the river

Saying, "Lord, what a crying' shame"

They'll be dragging the river

We'll be running', they'll never see it coming

[Verse 4]

They'll be dragging the river

They'll be dragging the river

But they aren’t going to find a thing

Sorry about calling your dad a son of a bitch earlier

Hey, do you think he'll still hire me?

Whoa, that thing's little

The diamond, I mean
