Clean Your Own Tables
Johnny Cash
[Verse] Well now she ain’t exactly what you’d call your all American girl A few too many truckers took her home I admit her life might read just like a paperback And some of what she’s done I’d say it’s wrong [Chorus] But I said clean your own tables boys pour your own beer Cause she ain’t here to do it this time And drink to a use to be barmaid And a lady I choose to be mine [Verse] I ain’t exactly what you?d call your all American boy I’ve done my time in Frisco and LA How some of you are takin? pride in what I am I heard you cussing this decision that I made [Chorus] Now clean your own tables boys pour your own beer She ain’t here to do it this time And drink to a use to be barmaid And a lady I choose to be mine [Bridge] I admit her life might read just like a paperback And some of what she’s done I’d say it’s wrong [Chorus/Outro] Now clean your own tables boys pour your own beer She ain’t here to do it this time And drink to a use to be barmaid Cause she?s the lady I choose to be mine Boys if your able clean your own tables And let me take care of mine
