Drag The Lake Charlie Lyrics - Big To-do - Drive By Truckers

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 kill 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
