Drive-By Truckers - Drag The Lake Charlie lyrics

rate me

Drag the lake, Charlie

Charlie, drag the lake

Lester didn't come home last night

And Wanda's all irate

Better keep your fingers crossed,

And hope we find him drowned

Wanda's gonna come and kill us all

If he shows up in town

Drag the lake, Charlie

I heard that he was seen

Cavortin' with ol 'Shorty

Up at the Line again

Wanda's got that goddamn

pistol in her purse

If she goes on the rampage

You'll have to call the Hearse

Better drag the lake, Charlie

Charlie, drag the lake

Remember what happened last time

When Lester went on the make?

I heard it took the cleaning crew

Two weeks to clear the bar

They never found that teenage girl

They never found her car

Drag the lake, Charlie

Drag the lake, Charlie

It won't be the first time,

But it might be the last

Drag the lake, Charlie

And keep your fingers crossed

And if you're friends with Jesus

Please ask him to help us

My best-case scenario

Is Lester turns up dead

I'm almost out of Valium,

Courage, and self-respect

Drag the lake, Charlie

Drag the lake, Charlie

It won't be the first time,

But it might be the last
