I’m Clean

Lyrics

[Intro] Somebody's somethin' Somebody said Boss [Verse 1] I'm rusted, untrusted, and seventeen by three I'm a bad investment but, baby at least I'm free Some are ten times better than me They walk around and fondle their filligree That don't mean that my junk ain't green Baby, I'm clean [Verse 2] It might've been something that somebody's something said Somethin' 'bout nothin' that maybe I might've did It might be or might not be a disgrace I saw the resignation upon your face Changed your mind at the scene of the crime I was clean [Chorus] Clean as a preacher's socks Clean as the keys to the prison's locks Clean as a gin drink on the rocks I'm clean, oh baby I'm clean [Bridge] But listen, I'm gonna get myself together Like a hurricane in stormy weather You might not hear from me for twenty-eight days But when twenty-nine rolls around, listen I'll have some brand new ways Oh, it's a brand new day, baby I'm gonna be like a majestic oak Swing and sway [Verse 3] Clean as a po' people's store-bought ball Clean as a wall in a widow's hall That don't mean that my junk ain't green 'Cause baby, I'm clean [Chorus] I was clean as a preacher's socks Clean as the keys to the prison's locks Clean as a gin drink on the rocks I'm clean, clean clean Clean as a preacher's socks Clean as the keys to the prison's locks Clean as a gin drink on the rocks I'm clean, clean, clean, clean
