Denim (Live)

[talking] "Hey y'all... So, um... I wrote this next song about six months ago, sitting in my kitchen back home after... well, after I tried to make it in Nashville for a while. You know how it is - small town girl, big city dreams, all that. Anyway, I've never played this one live before, so... y'all are gonna be the first to hear it. It's called "Denim" and it really matter's to me. Anyway, here we go." [verse 1] I found an old faded pair in the back of the cedar chest. The ones with the worn-out knees from when I was doing my best. To keep up with my daddy on the fence line in the heat. They still smell of sweet tobacco and the dry dirt on my feet [pre-chorus] Yeah, They were rough. It was tough. Going back, to call my bluff. and I was riding like a machine. on the fence. on Halloween. It would call my name like the power on mer. And I would say how to be.... [chorus] Denim (denim) those jeans I could tell they were gray. Oh denim (denim) They were washing away. Oh, I was the one growing like the petal. was on my first. And baby you know how to blow me a kiss. The proper way (way) hey (Oh) Baby (denim) Its denim all day. [verse 2] Now that old porch swing is where we spend our nights. Under the Texas stars and amber porch lights. You're wearing my faded jacket to keep off the chill. And we're writing our names at the top of the hill. Yeah, a classic don't fade, and neither do we. Wrapped up in love, as sweet as can be... [pre-chorus] Yeah, They were rough. It was tough. Going back, to call my bluff. and I was riding like a machine. on the fence. on Halloween. It would call my name like the power on mer. And I would say how to be.... [chorus] Denim (denim) those jeans I could tell they were gray. Oh denim (denim) They were washing away. Oh, I was the one growing like the petal. was on my first. And baby you know how to blow me a kiss. The proper way (way) hey (Oh) Baby (denim) Its denim all day. [bridge] Oh, Denim (denim) My Dad's old pair of jeans. they were rusty, Musty. Til the light went CLEAN! Oh, Denim (denim) Those jeans I could tell they were gray. Oh Denim (denim) They were washing away....
