Big Country - Dragging My Name lyrics

Nothing was ever so simple Nothing ever turns out neat For a fallen disciple Lying here at your feet You were someone to believe in Someone that I could turn to I wasn’t worth deceiving Hope you know you didn’t have to So leave me with my dignity Leave me with my pride Even though the best of me Is broken up and put aside Don’t go dragging my name around Don’t go dragging my name Don’t go dragging my name around If there’s one thing that I won’t stand It’s you dragging me all over God’s land I never went to the water Never laid a hand on you Like a lamb to the slaughter I laid myself down for you On my own at the temple Everything I thought was true It’s just a little incidental Something I was going through So leave me with my dignity Leave me with my pride Even though the best of me Is broken up and put aside Don’t go dragging my name around Don’t go dragging my name Don’t go dragging my name around If there’s one thing that I won’t stand It’s you dragging me all over God’s land Nothing was ever so simple Nothing ever turns out neat For a fallen disciple Lying here at your feet I never went to the water I never laid a hand on you Like a lamb at the slaughter I laid myself down for you So leave me with my dignity Leave me with my pride Even though the best of me Is broken up and put aside Don’t go dragging my name around Don’t go dragging my name Don’t go dragging my name around If there’s one thing that I won’t stand It’s you dragging me all over God’s land Don’t go dragging my name Don’t go dragging my name around If there’s one thing that I won’t stand It’s you dragging me all over God’s land
