Draggin'

The week is just dragging by! I woke up this morning thinking it should DEFINITELY be Saturday by now, or at least Friday. Alas, nooooo.

Still, as the perpetual soundtrack of my life is always playing in my head, this brings to mind the fabulous Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty Collaboration:

written by t. petty, m. campbell
- duet recorded with Tom Petty
- appears on Bella Donna (1981); Timespace - The Best of Stevie Nicks (1991);


Baby you'll come knocking on
my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said ya...well...
what am I supposed to do
I didn't know what I was getting into

So you've had a little trouble in town
Now you're keeping some demon down
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my heart around

It's hard to think about
what you've wanted
It's hard to think about what you've lost
This doesn't have to be the big get even
This doesn't have to be anything at all

I know you really want to
tell me good-bye
I know you really want to
be your own girl

Baby you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight
of the words
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my heart around

There's people running 'round loose
in the world
Ain't got nothing better to do
Than make a meal of some
bright eyed kid
You need someone looking after you

I know you really want to
tell me good-bye
I know you really want to
be your own girl

Baby you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight
of the words
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my heart around
