Lyrics
Wipe the Dirt Away
Lyrics: Carin Fradin
Music: Kathy (Gordon) Robinson

When its been a long hard day, and I gotta get off my feet
I head down to the corner lookin for some relief
The air is stale, and the food ain't good, but I never complain
cause the drinks are strong, the credit's long
And the bartender knows my name
[Chorus]
Everybody in the place
grew up here in this town
The memories run deep,
And the word sure gets around
No matter what I face out in these streets everyday
This is where I come to
wipe the dirt away
The whiskey goes down smooth,
and the jukebox plays real loud
Makes it easy to forget
what I came in thinkin about
No one's judging me and it's comforting
as I try to clear my head
Every time I leave, I know I'll be walking
back in soon again.
[Repeat Chorus]
Bridge
Been coming here forever, with the same old weathered crew
The only thing that changes are the scuffs on our boots
[The air is stale, and the food ain't good, but I never complain
Cause the drinks are strong,
the credit's long
and the bartender knows my name]
[Repeat Chorus]
END
