Lyrics Draggin the River - Buddy Miller

Draggin the River

Go down to the water and listen for a sound
Something like the moaning of a dove
That’s where I do my crying while I’m searching for a sign
Draggin' the river of our love
Did she bear some secret sorrow I could never know
That why my heart was not enough
Now she’s left me looking for a trace of what we had
Draggin' the river of our love
There’s thunder and lightning and a storm in my soul
I’m broken down and I’m fixing to cry
She was my heartbeat she was my blood
I might as well just lay down and die
Solid as a tombstone silent as a grave
Now loneliness fits me like a glove
Was her promise a mistake or just an outright lie
Draggin' the river of our love
The sky is low and heavy and full of tears tonight
And it’s just a fingernail moon up above
Tonight you’re gonna find me like every night before
Draggin' the river of our love
