    Here is another live track from the concert at Waterworks Park in Washington. This song is also available on the "Sackcloth Charms" CD. It starts out with me giving a little intro into the song, but trust me the song is there! It's not the best recording with kids making noise in the background, but hey, it was an outdoor concert at a park.

    Story Behind the Song
    We used to stay up late playing cards in college and bemoaning the rainy, lazy days when it was time to do laundry. Song starts off describing our kitchen table after a night of playing Spades. Then gets into the message that it doesn't matter how stained you are going in, that the blood of the Lamb can wash you white as snow again.

    Lyrics
    Spade King lies hiding from his Queen
    Dropped 'neath the window starring chair
    Pop-Tart crumbs replay the battle fought
    Beside the bicycle-backed diamond pair

    Lazy laundry day
    'Ware the hole that sucks
    The holey socks you wear my friend
    Or one foot less will find
    Its match in blue or grey
    As clouds march their soggy way
    Across another
    Lazy laundry day

    It's time to throw in that old towel
    Trade these rags of mine for a new set of threads
    Come pre-washed in a new brand of Cheer
    Blood-stained going in, come out white as snow

    Lazy laundry day
    No need to presort colors
    To red or yellow, black or white
    Detergent washes all the same
    Except the blood-dyed wool
    Even on that cycle cool
    Never seems to
    Wa-s-h away

    Say what? Come again? You what?
    Wish your mother would do the laundry? Ha!

    Never gonna wash again (white as snow)
    Found a new brand of Cheer (blood of the lamb)
    Ain't gonna need no fabric softener (hard heart's been softened)
    Don't need to borrow your quarter (it's free)

    Bye, bye, bye (x3)
    Lazy laundry day
