Dirty Water
Dust bowl gave birth
To a timber-built town set in hard baked earth
Where I once rolled in Kansas mud
Caught cradling the man I loved
Dirty water tastes so sweet
Treats me just like his queen
I'm like Elizabeth Taylor
He's my James Dean
Our bodies embossed on the starch sheets
Drinking burdock and bourbon, neat
Dirty water taste so sweet
Mother says don't touch his hand
She said don't wear that dress
I said please
She said
Dirty water, hey hey hey hey
But it tastes so sweet
Loved as well as we could have done
Hanging out like wild wild, Indians
In a slat shack timber frame
Where a rusty mail box bears our name
Dirty water tastes so sweet
Mother says don't touch his hand
She said don't wear that dress
I said please
She said
Dirty water
But it tastes so sweet
Dirty water, tastes, hey hey hey hey
But it tastes so sweet
Mother says don't touch his hand
She said don't wear that dress
I said please
She said
Dirty water, oh oh oh oh
But it tastes so sweet
Dirty water, tastes, hey hey hey hey
Tastes so sweet
To a timber-built town set in hard baked earth
Where I once rolled in Kansas mud
Caught cradling the man I loved
Dirty water tastes so sweet
Treats me just like his queen
I'm like Elizabeth Taylor
He's my James Dean
Our bodies embossed on the starch sheets
Drinking burdock and bourbon, neat
Dirty water taste so sweet
Mother says don't touch his hand
She said don't wear that dress
I said please
She said
Dirty water, hey hey hey hey
But it tastes so sweet
Loved as well as we could have done
Hanging out like wild wild, Indians
In a slat shack timber frame
Where a rusty mail box bears our name
Dirty water tastes so sweet
Mother says don't touch his hand
She said don't wear that dress
I said please
She said
Dirty water
But it tastes so sweet
Dirty water, tastes, hey hey hey hey
But it tastes so sweet
Mother says don't touch his hand
She said don't wear that dress
I said please
She said
Dirty water, oh oh oh oh
But it tastes so sweet
Dirty water, tastes, hey hey hey hey
Tastes so sweet
