Dirty Shirt Lyrics


Ronnie wasn't much on the thought of a coat and tie
'Cause they ain't much good to a man
Wearin' steel-toed boots from eight to five
He's been known to pop the top on a brew
He came off a little rough sometimes, but folks that know him knew
If you can look past a dirty shirt
See beyond greasy hands
You'll find a heart hard at work
In a damn good man
Army green seemed to suit him more than college life
Well, that's what his old man did and he turned out alright
He never got him that great big house or fancy car
But ya'll, it ain't the neighborhood you're in, it's the neighbor that you are
And if you can look past a dirty shirt
See beyond greasy hands
You'll find a heart hard at work
In a damn good man
He's got scars and an angel on his arm, he got in Saigon in '65

To most folks he ain't nothin' more
Than the ol' boy on the corner changin' tires
But if you look past a dirty shirt
See beyond the greasy hands
You're gonna find a heart hard at work
Yeah, if you can look past a dirty shirt
See beyond greasy hands
You'll find a heart hard at work
In a damn good man
Kinda like my Dad

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ray Scott refers to two musicians. One is a contemporary country musician. The other was a rockabilly star from Indiana who produced classic rockabilly music in the 1950's, often with his band, the Demens or his other band, the Four Recorders. Ray Scott (Henry Raymond Scott) died in 1999. The contemporary Ray Scott grew up outside of Semora, North Carolina. He was influenced by the farming community around him and by the country outlaw movement (Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson).
