Songhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/dirty-hands-clean-moneyStorySo about a week ago, a young lady called me up and said she was thinking about joining my Nashville Songwriter's group but had no idea if she was any good. Her name is Rachel Cintula.
She asked if she could read me some stuff on the phone so I could tell her if she was any good.
The lyrics below were part of that conversation.
I said:
"YES."
She asked if I knew a guy who could write music and produce. I said I knew the guy.
She joined the next morning.
This is one week later.
She has about 50 more now in our drop box.
It's going to be a busy year.
DIRTY HANDS, CLEAN MONEY
By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder

V1
With a shovel in your calloused hands
work taught you how to be a man
Some days you turn a wrench,
some days you drive a nail
Every day you pray to keep it together
Come hell or high water or stormy weather
Split wood, stack bales
You see your family, and you can’t fail
P-CH
Because you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you’ll always be described,
As a man who's earned
what he’s got..... with
CH
Dirty hands, dirty hands
Clean money, clean money
V2
Daddy you had brains but you never chased grades
No wall of degrees but you sure got paid
And you were never ashamed
to be a member of the trades
Because you knew that's how this country was made
Come hell or high water you were never afraid
And you knew you would always be
The hero of this family
P-CH
Because you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you always be described,
As a man, who's earned
what he’s got..... with
CH
Dirty hands, dirty hands
Clean money, clean money
BR
I’m not saying one path is better than the other
Cause you taught me to respect one another
If your hands are clean and so is your money
We at least agree on one thing honey
P-CH
And if you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you’ll always be remembered
As a person whose daddy
Taught a lot …. with
CH
Dirty hands, dirty hands
Clean money,clean money
FADE
With a shovel in your calloused hands
work taught you how to be a man
with dirty hands, dirty hands, clean money
