Draggin' The River

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 draggin' the river

Catchin' nothin' but an ol' catfish

They'll be draggin' the river

That'll show that son of a bitch

It's been rainin' 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 passin' by

I'll call my cousin

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

We'll be standin' in front of that preacher

By the time they're lookin' for us

And they'll be draggin' the river

But they ain't gonna find a thing

They'll be draggin' the river

I'll be wearin' 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 lovin'

Baby, I'd do anything

Sooner or later

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

We'll be rockin' at the Red Roof Inn

This time tomorrow night

And they'll be draggin' the river

Sayin', "Lord, what a cryin' shame"

They'll be draggin' the river

We'll be runnin', they'll never see it comin'

They'll be draggin' the river

They'll be draggin' the river

But they ain't gonna find a thing

Sorry about callin' 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
