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 "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
