Cowboy Junkies - Dragging Hooks Lyrics
Can't lose the taste of this river mudBlack water in my lungsThey say you can't step in the same river twiceWell I've been steppin' in this riverSeems like most of my life, soSharpen up those dragging hooksPull that sheepshank tightCast into the river, boysWe're dragging for lost years tonightSee that man he's lost his wifeSaid she's be home by eightBut that was well on three weeks agoNow he's walking those banks, searcher reduced to her fate, yeahSee that boy he's lost his girlFlash flood stole her awayNow he keeps a vigil on that suspension bridgePraying for that river to return her one day, soSharpen up those dragging hooksTie that clove hitch tightCast into the river boysWe're dragging for lost love tonightCan't lose the taste of this river mudBlack water in my lungsThey say even the weariest river in the end will find the seaBut here among the cattails all we discuss is breaking free, soSharpen up those dragging hooksPull that sheepshank tightCast into the water boysWe're dragging for lost souls tonight, soSharpen up those dragging hooksPull that sheepshank tightCast into the water boysWe're dragging for lost souls tonight
