"Draggin' the Line"

Makin' a livin' the old, hard way.
Takin' and givin' by day by day.
I dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

My dog, Sam, eats purple flowers.
Ain't got much, but what we got's ours.
We dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

I feel fine. I'm talkin' 'bout peace of mind.
I'm gonna take my time. I'm gettin' the good sign.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

Lovin' the free and feelin' spirit
Of hugging a tree, when you get near it.
Diggin' the snow and rain and the bright sunshine.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

I feel fine. I'm talkin' 'bout peace of mind.
I'm gonna take my time. I'm gettin' the good sign.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

Draggin' the line (draggin' the line). La la la la la la la-la-la.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line). La la la la la la la.
