Story Behind the Song
Thoughts while doing the laundry... noticing the holes in my jeans and thinking about a special someone.
Lyrics
Soaps and suds and denim duds
In my washing machine
The weather's hot, the water's cold
And the clothes are gettin' clean.
All day long I sing a song
As I work away
It's you my dear, I wanna be near,
But instead it's Laundry Day.
My daughter's jeans never come clean
No matter how I try
There are stains on the bottom
and stains on the knees
I think I'm gonna cry.
The pocket's torn and they're well worn
But faded to a real nice blue.
It's you my dear, I wanna be near,
It's you.
-chorus-
All my jeans have holes in the knees
All my thoughts are of you
All my jeans have holes in the knees
I think yours do too.
A weekly chore could be a bore
Without a fantasy.
So I'll imagine you and what you do
To me.
It's just the thing to make me sing
As I do the wash.
It's you my dear, I wanna be near
Eating squash.
All my jeans have holes in the knees
Just from being me.
It's a mother's lament from time well spent
Acting like a chimpanzee.
All the while I see your Sunday smile
And wonder how you are.
It's you my dear, I wanna be near
Playin' my guitar.
-chorus-
Hey, it's Laundry Day
The cycle ends on spin
One more load before I fold
I will empty out the bin
What I find is peace of mind
And a penny in my hand.
It's you my dear, I wanna be near
When you put down your kickstand.
-chorus-
