You've been doin' big things

Chasing big dreams

Climbing ladders

You've been working real late at night

You've been riding airplanes

Drinking champagne

Things that matter

You've been living your life and I

I've been doing laundry

I've been doing dishes

You've been doing her right

And doing me dirty

While I've been doing laundry

You've been playing nice guy

Buying nice wine

Asking her 'bout her day

And playing house in a hotel room

You've been walking two lines

Telling two lies

Bet you're exhausted

Well, baby, I'm exhausted too

'Cause I've been doing laundry

I've been doing dishes

You've been doing her right

And doing me dirty

While I've been doing laundry

And if you wonder where that letter went

She wrote you last week

Well, I found it in the pocket of your jeans

'Cause I've been doing laundry

Oh, I've been doing dishes

You've been doing her right

And doing me dirty

While I've been doing laundry

You've been doing her right

Oh, and doing me dirty

While I've been doing laundry
