Down on the Drag Songtext
von Joe Ely

Down on the drag, down on the drag
Some low-down son of a bum
He done stole my sleeping bag
Left me standing at a newsstand
Reading want ads in the rag
My baby′s back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag

Sooner I get to Houston
Sooner I′ll catch my boat
We'll cross that Gulf of Mexico
I'm taking anything that will float

Been down on the drag, down on the drag
Some low-down son of a bum
He done stole my sleeping bag
Left me standing at a newsstand
Reading want ads in the rag
My baby′s back up in Lubbock
And I′m down on the drag


Sooner I leave this town behind
Sooner I'll get control
Of all my crazy dreams and my heart losing steam
Lose my heart, body, mind, and soul

Been down on the drag, down on the drag
Some low-down son of a bum
He done stole my sleeping bag
Left me standing at a newsstand
Reading want ads in the rag
My baby′s back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag

Now if you don′t believe my story
I ain't gonna tell you no more
I never expect to see you again
I′ll be sleeping out in some doorway


Down on the drag, down on the drag
Some low-down son of a bum
He done stole my sleeping bag
Left me standing at a newsstand
Reading want ads in the rag
My baby's back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag
My baby′s back up in Lubbock
And I′m down on the drag
