Verse 1
Little boys sure love to play...I reckon God just made 'em that way...
Made a path through the mud...Never went around...Till my little blue jeans were mostly brown...
Heading home...Momma met me half way...I'm thankful for the words she didn't say...
She just smiled and said...It's OK...It's wash day...

Chorus
Little boy mistakes and big grass stains...She could make 'em all...Go away...
She had some kind of magic touch it seemed...
I never understood..just how much love...She poured into that machine...
I only knew...I always felt sooo clean....On wash day....

Verse 2
Momma smiled when she should have frowned...As I told her 'bout the hill I just had to roll down...
And how those..crickets in my pocket...Made a crunchy sound...Every time...I rolled around...
A little blood...From skinned up knees...A little bark...From climbing trees...
All disappeared...So..magically...On wash day...

Chorus
Little boy mistakes and big grass stains...She could make 'em all...Go away...
She had some kind of magic touch it seemed...
I never understood..just how much love...She poured into that machine...
I only knew...I always felt sooo clean....On wash day.....
Bridge
You might think that laundry...Is just another chore...
But, to me...It will always be much more...

Verse 3
In a little white church on the edge of town...Big white flakes where falling down...
It felt like someone was calling me...Next thing I knew I was on my knees...
Momma held my hand as I kneeled to pray...I whispered momma...I don't know what to say...
She just smiled and said...It's OK...It's wash day....

Chorus
Little boy mistakes and big sin stains...Jesus made 'em all..Go away...
His crimson tide was washing over me...
I never understood just how much love...He poured out on Calvary...
I only knew...I'd never felt so clean....
Wash day.....Oh..On wash day...
