Let the Loose End Drag
Just a little ol' boy about twelve years old, working on my daddy's farmGotta help him build an ol' chicken coop, gotta help him paint the barnI was carryin' a load 'bout twice my size, not quite enough to bragPapa just smiled and looked at me and said "Son let the loose end drag"Son let the loose end dragSon let the loose end dragPapa just smiled and looked at me and saidSon let the loose end dragWhen I got to be a man I started makin' plans to get me all the love that I canI was sitting in a bar getting pretty far with a honey on my right handWhen up stepped a stud he was looking for blood 'cause the lady didn't come in stagWhen you're caught in the middle you can bet your life that it'll be "Honey let the loose end drag"Honey let the loose end dragHoney let the loose end dragWhen you're caught in the middle you can bet your life that it'll beHoney let the loose end dragNow my life is almost done every day I tell my son, the words my daddy handed down to meYou gotta hang on very tight to the things you know are right, let the fly-by-night things beWhen the Devil calls your name and he says he won the game, and you know there ain't no turning backWhen he says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his eye, and don't let the loose end dragI ain't gonna let the loose end dragI ain't gonna let the loose end dragWhen he says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his eye, and don't let the loose end dragI ain't gonna let the loose end drag Aus Songtexte Mania
