DeAnn's Denim dress has got a dandelion scent
That drifts with her as she rounds the door
I saw a photograph, if not from 8 then 10 years back
Of a birthday cake with a lit-up 24
And I miss the times I'd drink
'Cause I'd never overthink
And I never gave into this lore
You ain't Jesus Christ 'cause you don't think twice
Sunday, when you pass the liquor store
Time changes all you'll see
Did you become what your mama wanted you to be
And are you strong enough to stay away from family genes
Cause DeAnn's Denim was a stubborn thing
Cause DeAnn's Denim was a stubborn thing
I recall a letter that she sent to me on base
When I was out playing patriot
She said she was leaving the house, headed out
And finally had the nerve for facing it
The genes that her daddy left were worked in and vintage
Proctor's daddy did the same
He said I could change my suit and tie
Pray all night to Jesus Christ
But he'd belt my ass if I changed my name
Cause time changes all you'll see
Did she become what her daddy wanted her to be
Was she strong enough to stay away from family genes
'Cause sometimes Denim is an ugly thing
Well, sometimes Denim is an ugly thing
DeAnn's Denim dress has got a dandelion scent
That drifts with her as she rounds the door
Cleaned out the closet, found some closure
When I threw those old blue jeans on the floor
I cleaned out the closet, found some closure
When I threw those old blue jeans on the floor
Cleaned out the closet, found some closure
When I threw those old blue jeans on the floor
