Shannon McNally Down And Dirty
Come on in through my screen door
Tell me all of your cares
I'm here to lend my ears
Where have you been lately, haven't seen you much
around here
You've been hiding out in the shade
Your skin is all gone to grey
Did you eat today when are you coming home to stay?
CHORUS
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
If you could see what I see, you'd see a boy who thinks
that sad is all he is
You've been looking around without your vision
Hearing things without listening suffering but feeling
no real kind of pain
And you know I'd like to help but if I let you ride for
free
You'd only drag me down into the cheap, cheap seats
CHORUS
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
You've got this thing against living with the best
but you sure like to visit it don't you?
When the streets get too cold, when you're feeling
weary and old
When your chances for survival are looking oh so slim
When all of a sudden you want to live to be 80, maybe
90, maybe 110
CHORUS
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
I know that everything ain't always what it seems to be
