[Verse 1]
Hey, baby I just asked your daddy
If I could take your hand
He said, "Boy, over my dead body"
Guess I aren’t his kind of man

But I love you and you love me
So, baby I got to plan
We'll push my truck off of Red Top Bridge
Right below the Jackson Dam

[Chorus]
Hey, they'll be dragging the river
Catching nothing but an old catfish
They'll be dragging the river
That'll show that son of a bitch

[Verse 2]
It's been raining for the last two weeks
So the water's up good and high
We'll just wait 'til it's good n' late
So there aren’t nobody passing by

I'll call my cousin
He'll pick us up an' take us to the Greyhound Bus
We'll be standing in front of that preacher
By the time they're looking for us

[Chorus]
And they'll be dragging the river
But they aren’t going to find a thing
They'll be dragging the river
I'll be wearing me a diamond ring

Ah, we're going to show them

[Verse 3]
I know that it might sound crazy
Just a little bit too extreme
But to get some of your sweet loving
Baby, I'd do anything

Sooner or later
They'll find my letter saying that we're alright
We'll be rocking at the Red Roof Inn
This time tomorrow night

[Chorus]
And they'll be dragging the river
Saying, "Lord, what a crying' shame"
They'll be dragging the river
We'll be running', they'll never see it coming

[Verse 4]
They'll be dragging the river
They'll be dragging the river
But they aren’t going to find a thing

Sorry about calling your dad a son of a bitch earlier
Hey, do you think he'll still hire me?
Whoa, that thing's little
The diamond, I mean
