lyrics

"Drag"

Ain't it just like Friday to bring me back down
Spent a lot of my money dragging some indifferent girl 'round
Friends say I deserve better, like I'm some sort of catch
But the ladies that hook me, well, they throw me right back

And it's a drag being lonesome with all this love to give
I try and I try but nobody seems to stick

And F... you, California - you were never that great
I thought you had some promise but somehow it slipped away
And I never should have wrote a song for that girl
It was too soon to let her know, least there's something left to show for it

And it's a drag being lonesome...

I try to be myself but that must be a mistake
Maybe I should make a change
And learn to play the game
What would you have me say?

And ain't it just like me to sing a sad song
Knowing someone still loves me and I was the one to move on
But the ones that I choose are the ones that I lose
I sure know how to pick 'em, I'm the Midas of the blues

And it's a drag...
