Dirty Words Lyrics by Rusty Clanton

Big Bear, Little Bear - EP

2017

[Verse 1]
Up before sunrise
To hear my neighbors stir their coffee
And laughing when their kid says dirty words
Stick around for the goodbye
'Cause when their boy is pushing thirty
He'll have learned not to expect implied return

[Chorus]
Help me out, hang me out to dry
Ask me how I am, I feel alright
No, really, I'm doing fine
Shut my mouth, let me down this time
I miss your autumn stare, your hands running through my hair
Like saltwater

[Verse 2]
A grey car in the distance
I guess I've got about five seconds
To decide if I should wave or look away
From another total stranger
Who I've probably never met but
I'm not sure I'm up for that much risk today

[Chorus]
Help me out, hang me out to dry
Ask me how I am, I feel alright
No, really, I'm doing fine
Shut my mouth, let me down this time
I miss your autumn stare, your Hands running through my hair
Like saltwater

[Verse 3]
If one more person tells me
"Hey listen, man, at least I bet you'll get some good songs
Out of it"
I'll sell my things
And drive my car as far out west as it will go
And keep on going if I can

[Chorus]
Help me out, hang me out to dry
Ask me how I am, I feel alright
No, really, I'm doing fine
Shut my mouth, let me down this time
I miss your autumn stare, your hands running through my hair
Like saltwater
