Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, baby, I just asked your daddy
If I could take your hand
He said, "Boy, over my dead body"
Guess I ain't his kinda man
But I love you, and you love me
So, baby, I got a plan
We'll push my truck off the Red Top Bridge
Right below the Jackson Dam
[Verse 2]
And they'll be draggin' the river
Catchin' nothing but an old catfish
They'll be draggin' the river
That'll show that son of a bitch
[Verse 3]
It's been rainin' for the last two weeks
So, the water's up good and high
We'll just wait till it's good and late
So there ain't nobody passin' by
I'll call my cousin, he'll pick us up and
Take us to the Greyhound bus (Yeah)
W'll be standin' in front of that preacher
By the time they're lookin' for us
[Verse 4]
And they'll be draggin' the river
But they ain't gonna find a thing
They'll be draggin' the river
I'll be wearin' me a diamond ring (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 5]
I know that it might sound crazy
Just a little bit too extreme
But to get some of your sweet lovin', baby
I'd do anything, yeah
Sooner or later, they'll find my letter
Sayin' that we're alright
We'll be rockin' at the Red Roof Inn
This time tomorrow night
[Verse 6]
And they'll be draggin' the river
Sayin', "Lord, what a cryin' shame"
They'll be draggin' the river
We'll be runnin', they'll never see it comin'
They'll be draggin' the river
They'll be draggin' the river
But they ain't gonna find a thing, no (Ooh, no)
