u.s. drag

you can feel it closing in on you but there's not much you can do

it's not a thing you can put your finger on

but you know when it's gone

endless stream of highways neon roadsigns and telephone lines

a little town somewhere in the mid-west gonna put your patience to the test

it's the u.s. drag

u.s. drag

it's the u.s. drag

there ain't no drag like the u.s. drag

music down a windy street

half a glance from strangers you don't wanna meet

jukebox blaring

stale beat

mixes with gamblers

gangsters boredom and fear in the pale blue tv light

it's the u.s. drag

u.s. drag

it's the u.s. drag

there ain't no drag like the u.s. drag

an it's closin' in on you

it's the u.s. drag

it's the u.s. drag

and there's nothing you can do

u.s. drag

u.s. drag

it's the u.s. drag

it's the u.s. drag
