Scotty McCreery - Dirty Dishes Lyrics
Mama hollers "Supper time,
And don't make me tell you twice
Wash your hands and wipe your face.
The table's no place for your toys,
And try to use your inside voice,
So we put down our forks and bowed our heads
And then she prayed the strangest prayer ever said:
"I wanna thank You Lord,
For noisy children and slamming doors,
And clothes scattered all over the floor,
A husband workin' all the time,
Draggin' in dead tired at night,
My never ending messy kitchen
And dirty dishes."
We all got real still and quiet,
And daddy asked "Honey, you alright?"
She said, "There ain't nothing wrong,
Noisy kids are happy kids,
And slamming doors just means we live,
In a warm and loving home,
Your long hours and those dishes in the sink,
Means a job and enough to eat.
So I'm gonna thank You Lord,
For noisy children and slamming doors,
And clothes scattered all over the floor,
A husband workin' all the time,
Draggin' in dead tired at night,
My never ending messy kitchen
For my little busy bees
Beggin' mama, mama can you please?
Always wantin' me and callin' me
Loads of laundry pilin' up
Crayons crushed into the rug
In those little sticky kisses
And dirty dishes,
And dirty dishes..."

Scotty McCreery Dirty Dishes Comments
November 28th still here
I’m of Mexican decent but I really like this !
I might give a like and a positive review if you actually got the lyrics correct. Wipe has no h. It's don't make me tell YOU twice. Not don't make you tell me. OMG were you even listening to the song when you wrote the lyrics ?
Missie W Well jeez, don’t need to be rude. Wipe? Sometimes I spell it wrong, whipe is said the same way as wipe, its a SPELLING error, and maybe the person who put the lyrics in the power point didn’t write the words correctly, who cares? At least they put the effort into this song so people can read the lyrics and listen at the same time. If your gonna be rude about it just don’t listen to this lyric video.
Picked him and backed him from the audition to the win!!
This song hits me in the heart every time!!
Luv this song
What a sweet song! I love country music like this.
This song explains my life so much
Who’s still listening in 2019❤️❤️
Ken go great dead I worte about fiend good bad ember been
Some parts of the song have the wrong lyrics
I truely love this song even though I don't live with my parents and I live with my grandparents but like itzamy said my grandma stands for mama and my grandpa stands for daddy. I know that my parents are still alive and I talk to them and see my dad every now and then but I will never forget what my grandparents have done for my sisters and I and I will always still have room for my parents in my heart as well but my life is really weird my grandparents are pretty much my parents and I don't even know how to explain my parents but when I go shopping for cards everything that is for dad's sounds like my papaw and everything for mom's sounds like my mamaw and everything for grandparents sound like my parents it's weird and confusing but I thank the good Lord for a roof over my head, food on my plate and clothes in my closet
Oh my God I love that song
💛 Brings back such good memories
Played this at my wedding to dance with my 5 year old daughter. This song is so heart warming and true 💕
This song has opened my eyes. God gives us children to love and cherish them. Yea there are dishes in the sink,clothes on the floor,toys every where. But at least you know your children are happy. I thank God for the man he has put into my life. I really couldn't ask for a better husband or father to my children. Before you lay down at night make sure you thank God for the little things he has given you.
This sounds like a #1 hit to me! He should be singing this song at his concerts! Love it!
reminds me of my grandparents and their way of thinkin/livin
Thank the lord that we're all just tax slaves. Life wasn't meant to be spent working just to pay for a house to live in and food on the table. To act like this life is a good life is just enslaving the next generation. Sad
Nick the things he sinfs about in the song happen with or without what you're talking about... eat? Gotta wash dishes. Have kids? It's noisy and can we please. You're statement is irrelevant to this song....
Scotty is sounding more like josh turner as he matures, great song too thanks for posting..
This song literally echoes the words of my heart. I couldn’t have written it better myself. As a momma of 7, this is daily life. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you so much Scotty !
Just wanted to say thank you love this song remindes me of my life and made me cry I thank the Lord everyday for my family that was giving to me. Amen 💜
I am so thank full for all of these things ... Okay maybe not exactly the dishes thing but what it means
I love this song this is so my life
Scotty was my choice right from the first time I saw him audition for AI.... a very unique voice... this is a great song... the story of life !! Thanks for sharing !
I'm sobbing at work. I love scotty!
i lesson this when i am cleaning the house
i love this song but i dont think that this is by scotty mcreey it does not sound like his voice to me... i dont know maybe it is just me but i love his song five more minutes:)
😍😍😍
As a mom of 5 I get this song big time
Its just like my moms house
love this
i think *dirty dishes* is the best song that scotty mccreery ever wrote. if he keeps this up for another 20/30 years -songs like that, he will be Randy Travis JR. keep it up scott!
Beautiful song lovely words
you are a amazing singer you have touch my heart when you sing and you are handsome keep up the amazing awesome work 💗💗💗💗💗
Such an old soul. Awesome song. Keep it up Scotty!!!
It is the song
Sometimes we forget to thank God for these things. This made me cry my eyes out because what would I do without all of these things. I'm blessed with a messy house, dishes in the sink and husband that will put in 60 hours a week
I love this
My grandparents,my uncle,mom 4 siblings me and my niece all live together and this describes my life. Makes me see the positive and i love reminding myself my niece screamin at 7 am means she made it another day still our little bundle of joy and miracle. My reason for still living everyday. My siblings calling my name a million times means im helpful and they will thank me. Not having any privacy means we r close and they know EVERYTHING. No more room in the kitchen means we have so much love with everyone. My weird hours means helping with my family and loved ones.
Kota Kay This is how our house is. My grandparents are gone now but we have their house. Me, 2 kids, my brother, my cousin and uncle. Couldn't imagine a different life.
that is a really good song
Anyone else cry while listening to this
Everytime.
Everytime
just did, 1st time readin' it
Everytime
Baby I love you
love this song reminds me of my childhood days I'm been blessed with a loving mom that cares she raise 4 girls on her own my dad walk out when I was little
My mom and Have traveled to see three concerts so far ,we are definitely fans, we also enjoyed over 300 road miles of you tube listening to Scotty
It was only 6 weeks into to competition and I said he's going to win and he did. how crazy is that
so so true. love it.
My grandma died 4 years ago. This describes her house exactly.
Jordan Cobb lol i know right
Very well written , and very well sung . But just how does somebody " whipe " their face ?
Kenneth Burbank
Amen, right?
made me cry 'cause it's so my home !!!
This reminds me more of my grandmas house, because coming from an abusive home, my sister and I spent most of our days at our grandparents house. Mama represents grandma, daddy represents granddaddy, and the kids are my sister and I and our two younger and older cousins. In total there was 6 grandkids at her house at once. But she always said "The more youngens I have the more love I get and give" now that all the kids are grown up, and granddaddys gone, it's not the same. But I'll always have that prayer in my heart❤️
Update: Grandmas gone now too, great grandbabies have been born, and now we’re all literally grown and on our own. Each is off doing their own thing, nothing is the same. But I come back to this song to remember that times were simple long before. And I can’t wait to say this prayer with my own little babies and my own husband.
That is so sweet I love how you grandparents take care of my sisters and I as well
@Amy c: it is amazing how you are about not forgetting everything your grandparents did for you, your sister and your cousins!
My Granny and Grandpa raised me and my sister while my single mom worked. They've been gone since 2006 first my Granny and 6 months later my Grandpa. Not a day goes by that I don't miss them and think of them. ❤️
he was so good
I seen him
i'm so jealous of his voice
I love it
I love Scotty mecreey since I was 3 and now I'm 9

horrible song
First of all I never heard of this song b4 and my brother typed that crap so don't try to confront me. Thankyou for your unnecessary comment @wade tilling
always gta blame the brother i see, typical...
boy stfu with yo dumb ass I'm not blaming my brother tf if he did he did and it aint shit you can say to me to tell me other wise so stop talking to me like irgaf about your damn opinion keep it to yourself bc last time I checked I didn't need a commentator. @wade tilling
+wade tilling or he/she has different taste in music. I wanted to listen to some country music, and I came across this song. This song is awful in my opinion.
thankyou @123rockfan

I love Scotty McCreery
