about

This is a hit song by American rock musician Tommy James, who went solo after Tommy James and the Shondells broke up in 1970. Released as a single on his second album in 1971, it was James' biggest hit as a solo artist selling more than a million copies.

lyrics

Makin' a living the old hard way,
Takin' and giving by day by day,
I dig snow and rain and bright sunshine,

Draggin' the line, (draggin' the line)

My dog Sam eats purple flowers,
We ain't got much but what we got's ours,
We dig snow and rain and 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)

Loving is free and feelin' spirit,
Of huggin' a tree when you get near it,
Diggin' the snow and the rain and the bright sunshine,

Ohhhh - 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)
[Repeat]

I enlisted the help of Don Cruze, a bass player with his own YouTube channel. He agreed to play the bass part and email his line - I built the rest of the song around his bass line.

Started playing the guitar when I was 10 - took a 6 week crash course and was self-taught from there on. Played in a few bands but always played. Technology has now allowed me to record my versions of songs and instead of just hearing the harmonies and other instruments in my head, I could now add them!
I hope you enjoy these songs! ... more
