Clean

There’s a jackknife out on highway 10. It’s the biggest mess I’ve ever seen.
I’m late to meet the candy man. It’s been a long time since I been clean.

I don’t know how I got so low. I don’t know how I got so mean.
Diggin’ for change in the backseat clothes, it’s been a long time since I been clean.

I ain’t got the money, but I got the jones.
Get down to the corner and wait there by the phone.

If falling in love is like going insane, then this must be the Devil’s dream.
I’m waitin’ out here in the pourin’ rain. It’s been a long time since I been clean.
