"You Don’t Know What
Dirty Is" Lyrics
(Kevin Bowe and Mick Sterling)
I’ve been sitting in this little box
For 37 years
I’ve heard more
truth than any man should have to hear
Killers and liars, beggars and
thieves
They lay down their burdens
Turn around and leave
Now
you come in carrying the weight of your world
Take it easy baby don’t
get your skirt in a twirl
Jesus is a busy man, with bigger fish to fry
Your two bit little sins ain’t even worth the tears you cry
So give me
on Hail Mary and I’ll cross you off the list
You call that dirty, you
don’t know what dirty is
Come and back and see me
When you hit
the seven deadliest
I’ll be in here waiting til’ you bring me something
heavy
Adultery and murder, now I can sink my teeth in that
Come back
when you kill someone and we can chew the fat
Put your feet up baby and
grab a sloe gin fizz
Dirty? You don’t know what dirty is
Bridge
Everybody’s got a job to do
Mine is saving souls
The
people come in broken
And I try to make them whole
But you don’t
need no fixing
So make rooms for those who do
Shut the door behind
you
And let the next one through
Give me one Hail Mary and I’ll
cross you off the list
You call that dirty, you don’t know what dirty is
You want absolution, I’ll leave you with this
You call that dirty, you
don’t know what dirty is
