about

This is an old one, written when I was 18 or 19 years old. Changed a couple words. The vocals and guitar were recorded (by Andrew Mazzone, RIP) as a demo. We added the other instruments later.

lyrics

Not Drag Me Down

Well, sometimes I think I should hit that lonesome road,
And hitch my way out of town
‘Cause there’s trouble in my head
But all that being said,
I ain’t gonna let it drag me down.
Not drag me down
Not drag me down
No you know that I won’t let it drag me down.

Well, sometimes I think I should give up this whole life
When no one seems to care if I’m around
An old man before my years, with a pocket full of tears,
But I ain’t gonna let it drag me down
Not drag me down
Not drag me down
Oh, you know that I won’t let it drag me down.

A slow boy got no place in this fancy kind of race
I speak but they don’t hear me make a sound
But still waters, they run deep, and talk is always cheap
So I ain’t gonna let it drag me down
Not drag me down
Not drag me down
Oh, you know that I won’t let it drag me down.
