CIRCLIN' THE DRAIN
(Kurt Fortmeyer)
I was taking a soak in the tub
Up to my neck in Mr. Bubble
I knew I was in way over my head
When she told me I was in deep trouble
'Cause I'd been making myself too much at home
And among many other things
She didn't want me in her bathtub
She didn't want my ring
My baby threw me out with the bath water
She pulled the plug and it's causing me great pain
My baby threw me out with the bath water
I'm all washed up and I'm circlin' the drain
I'd done everything that I could think of
To try to take care of her needs
I bought flowers and candles
And scented bath oil beads
I even bought her a brand new shower set
Thought I'd win her love for certain
But she paid no attention to
The man behind the curtain oh no
My baby threw me out with the bath water
She pulled the plug and it's causing me great pain
My baby threw me out with the bath water
I'm all washed up and I'm circlin' the drain
I gave her everything except the bathroom sink
Now my love is in the toilet and man that really stinks
'Cause my baby threw me out with the bath water
She pulled the plug and it's causing me great pain
My baby threw me out with the bath water
I'm all washed up and I'm circlin' the drain
Yeah I'm all washed up and I'm circlin' the drain

Trey is one of my favorite songwriters, and the pickers he gathered together for this project take a bluegrass backseat to nobody...plus he cut one of my songs (but I'm not the least bit biased). Kurt Fortmeyer
