Laundry Day

Andy McGaw  socan  2023

 

I could hear you playin from the laundry room

I could hear the B string was out of tune

I blame the capo crutches left me crippled to

It wasn’t the laundry I just hated the blues

 

People are walkin’ in and walkin’ out all day

Lookin’ in their Halloween bag for something to say

I’ve got some work tomorrow is garbage day

Poke me with a needle and take away my tray

 

I could hear you playin’ from the laundry room

I could hear the B string was out of tune

I blame the capo crutches left me crippled to

It wasn’t the laundry I just hated the blues

 

Come sit beside me come tell me how you’ve been

The neighborhood and the head that you’re livin’ in

If you get to thinkin’ play the songs in your head

The songs that we played on the foot of my bed

 

Take some magazines for readin’ on the train

That broken umbrella they’re callin’ for rain

Lookin’ out the window of this lonely room

I wish I had a hundred loads of laundry to do
