Dryer Number Nine

[Intro]

Whistle... (whistle)

Round and round, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]

Missed the bus, spilled my coffee on my one good white shirt,

Quarters in my pocket and a day that really hurt.

Laundromat at nine o’clock, that fluorescent hum,

I’m laughing at myself ’cause I’m the only one.

[Pre-Chorus]

Folding up the wrinkles, one by one,

Maybe nothing’s wrecked, it’s just not done.

[Chorus]

Dryer number nine, go round and round,

Spin my little worries till they tumble down.

I’m a pile of mismatched socks, but I’m warm, I’m found,

Dryer number nine, I’m all right now.

[Verse 2]

Little kid is chasing bubbles by the soap machine,

Old man reads the paper like it’s the best thing he’s seen.

Nobody’s keeping score of my bad luck today,

Coffee on my collar? Well, it’s got a story to say.

[Pre-Chorus]

Folding up the wrinkles, one by one,

Maybe nothing’s wrecked, it’s just not done.

[Chorus]

Dryer number nine, go round and round,

Spin my little worries till they tumble down.

I’m a pile of mismatched socks, but I’m warm, I’m found,

Dryer number nine, I’m all right now.

[Bridge]

Maybe I don’t need a brand-new start,

Just a warm shirt and a lighter heart.

[Final Chorus]

Dryer number nine, go round and round,

Spin my little worries till they tumble down.

I’m a pile of mismatched socks, but I’m warm, I’m found,

Dryer number nine — I’m all right now, all right now.

[Outro]

Whistle... (whistle)

Round and round, oh-oh-oh
