Quarters for the Dryer, Midnight Mess

by Safety Pin Saints

“Midnight at the laundromat with a bag of socks and a ball cap. The place we wrote half our songs.”

Lyrics

It's midnight at the laundromat
Got a bag of socks and a ball cap
Eleven quarters in my hand
Need one more, now I'm in demand

The change machine just ate my bill
It hums and it will not be still
A sleepy guy is watching me
He says "kid, you're doing fine, you'll see"

Round and round and round we go
Nobody here has got a clue

Quarters for the dryer, midnight mess
Spinning all my troubles, I'm a wreck but I'm blessed
Wash it loud, dry it loud, hey hey hey
Clean socks and a sing-along, that's how we save the day

A lady folds her towels neat
She taps her foot along to the beat
We both lost a sock tonight
But the dryer hum feels all right

Round and round and round we go
Nobody here has got a clue

Quarters for the dryer, midnight mess
Spinning all my troubles, I'm a wreck but I'm blessed
Wash it loud, dry it loud, hey hey hey
Clean socks and a sing-along, that's how we save the day

Warm clothes in my arms at last
Midnight's good when the bad is past

Quarters for the dryer, midnight mess
Spinning all my troubles, I'm a wreck but I'm blessed
Wash it loud, dry it loud, hey hey hey
Clean socks and a sing-along, that's how we save the day

Hey hey hey, clean socks today
Hey hey hey, clean socks today
