Let The Loose End Drag - Dr. Hook
Just a little ol' boy about twelve years old
Working on my daddy's farm
Gotta help him build an ol' chicken coop
Gotta help him paint the barn
I was carryin' a load 'bout twice my size
Not quite enough to brag
Papa just smiled and looked at me and said
Hey son let the loose end drag
Son let the loose end drag
Son let the loose end drag
Papa just smiled and looked at me and said
Son let the loose end drag
When I got to be a man
I started makin' plans to get me
All the love that I can
I was sitting in a bar getting pretty far
With a honey on my right hand
When up stepped a stud he was looking for blood
'Cause the lady didn't come in stag
When 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 drag
Honey let the loose end drag
When you're caught in the middle
You can bet your life that it'll be
Honey let the loose end drag
Now my life is almost done every day I tell my son
The words my daddy handed down to me
You gotta hang on very tight
To the things you know are right
Let the fly by night things be
When the Devil calls your name
And he says he won the game
And you know there ain't no turning back
When he says you're gonna die
You just spit right in his eye
And don't let the loose end drag
I ain't gonna let the loose end drag
I ain't gonna let the loose end drag
When he says you're gonna die
You just spit right in his eye
And don't let the loose end drag
I ain't gonna let the loose end drag
I ain't gonna let the loose end drag
When he says you're gonna die
You just spit right in his eye
And don't let the loose end drag
