In the Wash Lyrics by Adam LaPorte

Nashville

2021

Mama makes a habit of checking pockets
Since Daddy ruined his Wrangler wallet
This house is full of secrets but she always knows ‘em
They’re right there buried inside the clothes
And they come out
In the wash
Her daughter’s new boyfriend is acting scary
They swear they’ll wait till they get married
It seems so forced, their naive posing
They’ve got no horse but she found a Trojan
Yeah it comes out
In thе wash
It comes out in the wash
It comes out in thе wash
Her oldest boy’s home from the rehab center
Found him out on the floor back last December
He swears he never messes with that stuff anymore
But what else would the spoon and the lighter be for?
Yeah it comes out
In the wash
It comes out in the wash
It comes out in the wash
Somewhere behind the dryer line you know
Where she finds it
Somewhere behind her tired eyes you know
Why she hides it
Wash it all away
You can rinse it down the drain
And it comes out
They flagged her husband’s bank account for a weird transaction
Froze his credit card for fear of fraudulent action
He swears he never went to that motel on I-40
The receipt in his pocket tells a different story
Somewhere behind the dryer line you know
Where she finds it
Somewhere behind her tired eyes you know
Why she hides it
Wash it all away
You can rinse it down the drain
And it comes out
Bit by bit
You fold up the secrets and you brush away the lint
Yeah it comes out
Piece by piece
A little bit of water and it all runs clean
And no one suspects there’s dirty laundry
