Well, now she ain't exactly what you'd call
Your all American girl
And some too many truckers
Took her home
And I'll admit
Her life would read just like
A paperback
And some of what she's done
I've said is wrong
But I said
Clean your own tables, boys
And bring out your beer
Cause she ain't gonna do
It this time
And drink to a used to be barmaid
Cause she's a lady
I choose to be mine
And I ain't exactly been what you'd call
Your all American boy
I've done my time in Frisco and LA
How some of you that are taking pride
In what I am
I heard you cussing
This decision
That I've made
But I said
Clean your own table, boys
And bring out your beer
Cause she ain't gonna do
It this time
And drink
To a used to be barmaid
Cause she's a lady
I choose to be mine
And I'll admit
Her life would read
Just like a paperback
And some of what she's done
Well, I say is wrong
But I said
Clean your own tables, boys
And bring out your beer
Cause she ain't gonna do
It this time
And drink
To a used to be barmaid
Cause she's a lady
I choose to be mine
Boys, if you're able
Clean your own tables
And let me take care of mine
