Draggin' The River

(album: All About Tonight - 2010)

Hey, baby I just asked your daddy
If I could take your hand
He said, "Boy, over my dead body"
Guess I ain't his kinda man

But I love you and you love me
So, baby I gotta plan
We'll push my truck off of Red Top Bridge
Right below the Jackson Dam

Hey, they'll be dragging the river
Catching nothing but an ol' catfish
They'll be dragging the river
That'll show that son of a bitch

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 ain'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

And they'll be dragging the river
But they ain't gonna find a thing
They'll be dragging the river
I'll be wearing me a diamond ring

Ah, we're gonna show 'em

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

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

They'll be dragging the river
They'll be dragging the river
But they ain't gonna 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
