Lyrics
Tryin’ To Get Them Clean ©2007 Tim Wheeler & Steve Oxford V1 Willie washes dishes for the diner Used to drive a school bus for the children of the town Folks say he’s a hero but he doesn’t look like one As he hunches over piles of dirty pots and pans Tryin’ to get the clean Tryin’ to get them clean Spends his days tryin’ to get them clean. V2 Happened in the middle of December Bus was coming down a hill when the brakes went to the floor Willie knew that wooded winding road, at the bottom was a clearing 50 kids would’ve surely died if he hadn’t made it there Tryin’ to get them clean Tryin’ to get them clean Spends his days tryin’ to get them clean. BRIDGE Willie had a daughter; If you knew the man, you’d know. The love he held for her, it was endearing She was with her mama, playing in the snow, Kneeling in the center of that clearing. V3 Willie washes dishes for the diner. And fifty men and women, still alive alive and well No one speaks about the day ‘cause there’s nothing really left to say And the old man spends his waking hours With his hands in soapy water Tryin’ to get them clean. Tryin’ to get them clean Spends his days tryin’ to get them clean. Tryin’ to get them clean Tryin’ to get them clean Spends his days tryin’ to get them clean. Tryin’ to get them clean Tryin’ to get them clean Spends his days tryin’ to get them clean. Spends his days tryin’ to get them clean.
