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

"Draggin' the Line" is a hit song by American rock musician Tommy James, who went solo after the Shondells disbanded in 1970. It was first released as the B side of "Church Street Soul Revival" in 1970. The song was judged to have some hit potential so they went back in the studio and added horns to the master and re-released it as an A side single in 1971.
It was included on his second album, Christian of the World in 1971 on the Roulette Records label. The song was James' biggest hit as a solo artist selling more than a million copies, and appears as the fifth track on James' 1991 retrospective album The Solo Years (1970-81) released by Rhino.
