DIRTY HANDS, CLEAN MONEY
By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder

Tempo 75 Soulful Country Hard Back beat


V1

With a shovel in your calloused hands
work taught you how to be a man
Some days you turn a wrench,
some days you drive a nail
Every day you pray to keep it together
Come hell or high water Or stormy weather
Split wood, stack bales
You see your family, and you can’t fail

P-CH

Because, you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you’ll always be described,
As a man, who’s earned

what he’s got..... with

CH

Dirty hands, dirty hands
Clean money clean money

V2

Daddy you had brains but you never chased grades
No wall of degrees but you sure got paid
And you were never ashamed
to be a member of the trades
Because you knew that's how this country was made
Come hell or high water you were never afraid
And you knew you would always be
The hero of this family

P-CH

Because you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you always be described,
As a man who’s earned
what he’s got..... with

CH

Dirty hands, dirty hands
Clean money clean money

BR

I’m not saying one path is better than the other
Cause you taught me to respect one another
If your hands are clean and so is your money
We at least agree on one thing honey

P-CH

And if you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you’ll always be remembered
As a person whose daddy
Taught a lot …. with

CH
Dirty hands, dirty hands
Clean money, clean money

FADE

With a shovel in your calloused hands
work taught you how to be a man
with dirty hands, dirty hands, clean money
