Johnny Cash
Clean Your Own Tables
[Verse]
Well now she isn’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
Because she isn’t going to do it this time
And drink to a use to be barmaid because she's a lady I choose to be mine
And I am not exactly been what you call your all American boy
I've done my time in Frisco in LA
How some of youth are taking pride in what I am
I heard you cussing this decision that I've made
But I said clean your own tables
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 if you're able clean your own tables and let me take care of mine
