"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
