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
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
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
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
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
Been down on the drag
Down on the drag
Some lowdown son-of-a-bum
Even stole my sleepin' bag
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
