The story behind the song

Johnny Cash was an American singer-songwriter known for his deep, calm, bass-baritone voice and a musical style often characterized by themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption. His music frequently featured a distinctive train-like chugging guitar rhythm from his backing band, the Tennessee Three. Throughout his career, he presented a rebellious spirit coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor. Playing this song can evoke the raw, grounded spirit of an artist who always stayed true to his roots.

[Verse]

Well now she ain't exactly what you'd call your all American girl

A few too many truckers took her home

I admit her life might read just like a paperback

And some of what she's done I'd say it's wrong

[Chorus]

But I said clean your own tables boys pour your own beer

Cause she ain't here to do it this time

And drink to a use to be barmaid

And a lady I choose to be mine

[Verse]

I ain't exactly what you?d call your all American boy

I've done my time in Frisco and LA

How some of you are takin? pride in what I am

I heard you cussing this decision that I made

[Chorus]

Now clean your own tables boys pour your own beer

She ain't here to do it this time

And drink to a use to be barmaid

And a lady I choose to be mine

[Bridge]

I admit her life might read just like a paperback

And some of what she's done I'd say it's wrong

[Chorus/Outro]

Now clean your own tables boys pour your own beer

She ain't here to do it this time

And drink to a use to be barmaid

Cause she?s the lady I choose to be mine

Boys if your able clean your own tables

And let me take care of mine
