"Dragging the River"

(Idgy Vaughn)

DRAGGING THE RIVER

Look into my eyes
Now, do I look like the dangerous type?
You’d never tell by these small hands
But driven by desire, burning up with jealous pride
I took what was not mine to have

My whole life began with the day that he learned my name
He said I was his only love
But with each passing day, his love for me began to fade
And my whole life just come undone
Then he said he loved another
And I said, “But I love you still,
And if I can’t hold you in my arms then nobody will.”

No one’s dragging the river, no one’s calling out the law
Ain’t nobody gonna miss him, no one even knows that he’s gone
Nobody knows just what I done, knows what I done

I said, “Baby, take me for a ride,” for the very last time
That Mississippi bridge is seven stories tall
I did not watch him but I listened to him fall
And I swear that rolling muddy water sounds just like
A concrete wall

No one ever thinks that little hands are capable of much
But in the end these little hands were just capable enough

No one’s dragging the river, no one’s calling out the law
Ain’t nobody gonna miss him, no one even knows that he’s gone
Nobody knows just what I done, knows what I done
