I Ain't Going to Drag My Feet No More

Lyrics

I've been gone so long, now ain't it a pity
 Bending my back in this hell-hole city
 Turning my ear from my friends and betters
 Up to my neck in unread letters
 And unwritten laws
 Where I come from feeling is a crime
 I thought I could take you in my own good time
 Like a jumped-up fool, now down I climb
 And I ain't going to drag my feet no more
 I'm running to your side, gonna beat down the door
 I ain't going to drag my feet no more, no more
 Well I can't live without you but I've been trying
 I've got a short-set fuse and two fists of iron
 I did everything a man might do
 To stop myself from pining after you
 But it don't seem to matter no more
 Penny's in my hand, now I'm going to spin it
 Heads you win, don't you think for one minute
 That I care for this bed with nobody in it
 And I ain't going to drag my feet no more
 I'm running to your side, gonna beat down the door
 I ain't going to drag my feet no more, no more
 Biding my time is driving me senseless
 You worked yourself right under my defenses
 You got me in a grip that I can't shake
 All my feelings are about to break
 And love never rains, it pours
 I worked my hands 'till they couldn't spell your name
 I rolled and I roared 'till I couldn't see your face
 I leaned on the jukebox 'till I couldn't hear your voice
 Put my head in the sand, but that won't do it
 I swore I was above you, but that won't do it
 And I tried and I tried, but that won't do it
 And I ain't going to drag my feet no more
 I'm running to your side, gonna beat down the door
 I ain't going to drag my feet no more, no more
 I ain't going to drag my feet no more
 I'm running to your side, gonna beat down the door
 I ain't going to drag my feet no more, no more
