Lyrics
Been nursing dust on my shoes
Didn’t want to shake these blues
Been fighting better judgment
Fighting what I know to be true
This darkness burning a hole
Heart wants to shake it, skin wants to hold on
Be better if I quit it
I’ve never done what I was told
It’s time to get clean
It’s time to get clean
Take what’s hidden and make it seen
Say love’s like shotgun spray
One pellet kills the snake
I’m not picking up that gun
Sometimes I like to hear rattles shake
It’s time to get clean
It’s time to get clean
Take what’s hidden and make it seen
Pull the curtains down
Throw the doors open
Strip the bed, turn every light on
Step in the river, let it cover
Let go when you go under
It’s time to get clean
It’s time to get clean
Take what’s hidden and make it seen
It’s time to get clean
