Jay Webb Wash It Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She said her daddy was a sinner and her mama wasn't quite the same
So she took what she could if it made her feel good and knocked off a little pain
Nobody ever could forgive her, so she boarded a midnight train
To get the hell outta here, she wiped off her tears
Said if I could do anything

[Chorus]
Wish I could wash it on down
Give it all up
Let it all drown hellbound where the memories stuck
I'm on a two-lane now, 'bout to get f*cked up again, ooh
If I could wash it on down
Give it all up
Finally find out how it feels to not live enough
Yeah, I'm lost now, but I'll be better then
Ooh, and I can wash it on down
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, hope I can wash it on down, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Well, there's a bottle on the counter
And some pills on my front sink
If I mix up the two, might forget you and all that you did to me
My damn thoughts gettin' louder tellin' me that one more drink
Might numb the pain from her walkin' away But damn, if I could do anything

[Chorus]
Wish I could wash it on down
Give it all up
Let it all drown hellbound where the memories stuck
I'm on a two-lane now, 'bout to get f*cked up again, ooh
If I could wash it on down
Give it all up
Finally find out how it feels to not live enough
Yeah, I'm lost now, but I'll be better then
Ooh, and I can wash it on down

[Bridge]
Angel on my left
The devil on my right
I just pray I make the best choice that I can tonight
[Chorus]
Wish I could wash it on down
Give it all up
Let it all drown hellbound where the memories stuck
I'm on a two-lane now, 'bout to get f*cked up again, ooh
If I could wash it on down
Give it all up
Finally find out how it feels to not live enough
Yeah, I'm lost now, but I'll be better then
Ooh, and I can wash it on down

[Outro]
Ooh, hope I can wash it on down, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
