Dragging My Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nothing was ever so simple
Nothing ever turns out neat
For a fallen disciple
Lying here at your feet
You were someone to believe in
Someone that I could turn to
I wasn’t worth deceiving
Hope you know you didn’t have to
So leave me with my dignity
Leave me with my pride
Even though the best of me
Is broken up and put aside
Don’t go dragging my name around
Don’t go dragging my name
Don’t go dragging my name around
If there’s one thing that I won’t stand
It’s you dragging me all over God’s land
I never went to the water
Never laid a hand on you
Like a lamb to the slaughter
I laid myself down for you
On my own at the temple
Everything I thought was true
It’s just a little incidental
Something I was going through
So leave me with my dignity
Leave me with my pride
Even though the best of me
Is broken up and put aside
Don’t go dragging my name around
Don’t go dragging my name
Don’t go dragging my name around
If there’s one thing that I won’t stand
It’s you dragging me all over God’s land
Nothing was ever so simple
Nothing ever turns out neat
For a fallen disciple
Lying here at your feet
I never went to the water
I never laid a hand on you
Like a lamb at the slaughter
I laid myself down for you
So leave me with my dignity
Leave me with my pride
Even though the best of me
Is broken up and put aside
Don’t go dragging my name around
Don’t go dragging my name
Don’t go dragging my name around
If there’s one thing that I won’t stand
It’s you dragging me all over God’s land
Don’t go dragging my name
Don’t go dragging my name around
If there’s one thing that I won’t stand
It’s you dragging me all over God’s land
