Lyrics

GONNA SCRUB MY BLUES
© Chapman Nicholson Botond

Well I was scrubbing out my blue jeans
down at the laundromat
when you strutted in like a honky tonk
Wal-Mart aristocat
One look and I was doing your washing,
then I was ironing your shirt
you said I was your Angel
but you've been treating me like dirt

CHORUS I'm gonna scrub my blues
leave my teardrops in the dryer
use some starch as fortifier
Well I'm a redneck with an attitude
You'll never see me boo - hoo - hoo
I'm gonna scrub my blues.

VERSE 2 You soft-soaped me till I believed
every word was true
Treating me like an old wash rag
no matter what I do
Been hanging on your line too long
and you've left me out to dry
Well my detergent's called Adios Amigo
and honey that means Goodbye.

CHORUS I'm gonna scrub my blues
leave my teardrops in the dryer
use some starch as fortifier
Well I'm a redneck with an attitude
You'll never see me boo - hoo - hoo
I'm gonna scrub my blues

BRIDGE You're playing dirty with my heart every single day
but baby I got Scotch Guard coded in my DNA

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG Honey, it's washday now and I'm washing my hands of you
Adios Amigo means Goodbye
