Drive-By Truckers - Drag The Lake Charlie lyrics

Drag the lake, Charlie Charlie, drag the lake Lester didn't come home last night And Wanda's all irate Better keep your fingers crossed And hope we find him drowned Wanda's gonna come and k** us all If he shows up in town Drag the lake, Charlie I heard that he was seen Cavortin' with ol' Shorty Up at the Line again Wanda's got that goddamn Pistol in her purse If she goes on the rampage You'll have to call the hearse Better drag the lake, Charlie Charlie, drag the lake Remember what happened last time When Lester went on the make? I heard it took the cleaning crew Two weeks to clear the bar They never found that teenage girl They never found her car Drag the lake, Charlie Drag the lake, Charlie It won't be the first time But it might be the last Drag the lake, Charlie And keep your fingers crossed And if you're friends with Jesus Please, ask him to help us My best-case scenario Is Lester turns up dead I'm almost out of Valium Courage, and self-respect Drag the lake, Charlie Drag the lake, Charlie It won't be the first time But it might be the last
