It’s A Dirty Job

[Verse 1: Lacy J. Dalton]
Many nights I've thought about it
Tried to find a way around it
Tried to make believe we're lovers
When the feeling's gone away

[Verse 2: Bobby Bare]
But it's a no win situation
A hopeless game we're playing
'Cause we both know it's over
But neither one will say

[Chorus: Lacy J. Dalton & Bobby Bare, Bobby Bare, & Lacy J. Dalton]
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to leave, someone has to cry
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to be the one to say goodbye

[Verse 3: Bobby Bare]
When the bitter words are spoken
And all the promises are broken
When you realize the good times
Will never be again

[Verse 4: Lacy J. Dalton]
How long can we keep lying
And saying it isn't dying
And someone has be the one
To say we've reached the end

[Chorus: Lacy J. Dalton & Bobby Bare, Bobby Bare, & Lacy J. Dalton]
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to leave, and someone has to cry
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to be the one to say goodbye
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to leave, someone has to cry
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to be the one to say goodbye

[Outro: Lacy J. Dalton & Bobby Bare]
It's a dirty job
