From Girls Can Tell2001

Written by Britt Daniel

Lyrics

The Fitted Shirt

[Verse 1] When I was still growing up And dad head off to work He put coat and tie on Over fitted shirt Nothing else will fit right Or seem so directly applied Than fitted shirt hung on me Fitted shirt, alright [Pre-Chorus] I long for the days They used to say "Ma'am" and "yes, sir" For now, I'm going to find Buttons for my Dad's old used shirt [Chorus] Fitted shirt Fitted shirt [Verse 2] Been looking so long now And no one's seen and no one heard But when I go out tonight I'm gonna put on a fitted shirt [Pre-Chorus] One day it'll take And they'll start to make Shirts that fit right Till then I suppose I still got dad's clothes And that's alright [Chorus] Fitted shirt Fitted shirt Fitted shirt Fitted shirt Fitted shirt Fitted shirt Fitted shirt Fitted shirt
