Let The Loose End Drag

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 sittin' in a bar, gettin' 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

I ain't goin', let the loose end drag

I ain't goin', let the loose end drag

I ain't goin', let the loose end drag

When he says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his eye

And go and let the loose end drag

I ain't goin', let the loose end drag

I ain't goin', let the loose end drag

When he says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his eye

And go and let the loose end drag

I ain't goin', let the loose end drag

I ain't goin', let the loose end drag

When he says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his ...
