Clean Your Own Tables

Well now she ain't exactly what you'd call your all American girl

And some too many truckers took her home

And I'll admit, her life would read just like a paperback

And some of what she's done, I've said, it's wrong

But I said, clean your own tables, boys, and bring out your beer

'Cause she ain't gonna do it this time

And drink to a use to be barmaid

'Cause she's a lady I choose to be mine

And I ain't exactly been what you call your all American boy

I've done my time in Frisco in LA

How some of youth that are taking pride in what I am

I heard you cussing this decision that I've made

But I said, clean your own tables, boys, and bring out your beer

'Cause she ain't gonna do it this time

And drink to a use to be barmaid

'Cause she's a lady I choose to be mine

And I'll admit, her life would read just like a paperback

And some of what she's done, well I say, is wrong

But I said, clean your own tables, boys, and bring out your beer

'Cause she ain't gonna do it this time

And drink to a use to be barmaid

'Cause she's a lady I choose to be mine

Boys, if you're able

Clean your own tables

And let me take care of mine
