It All Comes Out in the Wash Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you wear a white shirt to a crawfish boil
Stonewashed jeans while you're changing the oil
When you find yourself dating the bridesmaid's ex
You accidentally bring him to the wedding, whoops
If you pour yourself a Merlot to go
You dip your fries in your ketchup on a bumpy road
You spill the beans to your mama, sister got knocked up
In a truck at the 7-Eleven, don't sweat it

[Chorus]
'Cause it'll all come out, all come out in the wash
It'll all come out, all come out in the wash
Every little stain, every little heartbreak
No matter how messy it got
You take the sin and the men and you throw 'em all in
And you put that sucker on spin

[Verse 2]
You got frisky with your boss at the copy machine
You drunk-dialed your ex-husband, don't remember a thing
Had a fancy dinner at your mother-in-law's
Spilled A1 Sauce on her table cloth
Don't sweat it, a Tide stick will get it

[Chorus]
It'll all come out, all come out in the wash
(All come out in the wash)
And it'll all come out, all come out in the wash
(All come out in the wash)
Every little stain, every little heartbreak
No matter how messy it got
You take the sin and the men and you throw 'em all in
And you put that sucker on spin
Put that sucker on spin
You gotta put that sucker on spin
[Bridge]
And the laundry list goes like this
Every teardrop, every white lie
Every dirty cotton sheet, let it line dry
All the mistakes, all the wild streaks
That's why the good Lord made bleach, oh-oh

[Chorus]
'Cause it'll all come out, all come out in the wash
(All come out in the wash)
It'll all come out, all come out in the wash
(All come out in the wash)
Every little stain, every little heartbreak
No matter how messy it got
You take the sin and the men and you throw 'em all in
And you put that sucker on spin
Put that sucker on spin
Yeah, put that sucker on spin

[Outro]
Yeah, you put that sucker on spin
And around and around and around and around we go
'Round and around and around and around we go

What did Miranda Lambert say about "It All Comes Out in the Wash"?
Genius Answer

I am so proud of this. This is a song that I felt like it’s perfect to perform at CMA Fest in the stadium. I haven’t sung here in awhile. It just has this fire to it and I feel like it’s kind of speaking, ‘I’m back.’"

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

I wrote “It All Comes Out in the Wash” with the Love Junkies, some of my favorite people to write with—Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey. And I had the title for a while written down in my phone. We like to talk about girly things and things going on in life when we write together, so I feel like the song is just kind of a mix of scenarios that all of us have either been a part of or seen or, ya know, something that’s happened in all of our lives, and realizing that when you have something in your life that’s a little unclean at times or hurtful or a moment that you wish would pass, it does all pass and it all comes out in the wash. That’s something that all of our moms would say to us when we were little—let’s not worry about a stain. I’m really proud of it. It’s a really fun song.
