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.
My baby's back up in Lubbock and I'm down on the Drag
The sooner I get to Houston, the sooner I'll catch my boat.
We cross that Gulf of Mexico. I'm takin' anything that will float.
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 rags.
My baby's back up in Lubbock and I'm down on the Drag.
The sooner I leave this town behind, the sooner I'll get control.
Of all my crazy dreams and my hard-losin' schemes my heart, body, mind and soul.
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.
My baby's back up in Lubbock and I'm down on the drag.
(solo)
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.
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.
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.
