I Ain't Going To Drag My Feet No More
Richard Thompson

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
