Down on the Drag

[Chorus]
Down on the drag, down on the drag
Some low down son of a bum
Even stole my sleepin' bag
Left me standin' at a newsstand
Readin' want ads in the rag
My baby's back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag

[Verse 1]
The sooner I get to Houston
The sooner I'll catch my boat
We'll cross that Gulf of Mexico
I'm takin' anything that will float

[Chorus]
Been down on the drag
Down on the drag
Some lowdown son-of-a-bum
Even stole my sleepin' bag
Left me standin at a newsstand
Readin' want ads in the rag
My baby's back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag

[Verse 2]
The sooner I leave this town behind
The sooner I'll get control
Of all my crazy dreams and my hard-losin' schemes
And my heart, body, mind and soul

[Chorus]
Been down on the drag
Down on the drag
Some lowdown son-of-a-bum
Even stole my sleepin' bag
Left me standin at a news stand
Readin' want ads in the rag
And my baby's back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag

[Saxophone and Guitar Solos]

[Verse 3]
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 sleepin down in some doorway

[Chorus]
Down on the drag
Down on the drag
Some low down son of a bum
Even stole my sleepin' bag
Left me standin at a newsstand
Readin' want ads in the rag
My baby's back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag

[Outro]
My baby's back up in Lubbock
And I'm down on the drag
