DeAnn's Denim (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

DeAnn's denim dress has got a dandelion scent

That drifts with her as she rounds the door

I saw photograph if not from eight then ten years back

Of a birthday cake with a lit-up twenty-four

And I miss times I drank '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 a liquor store

[Chorus]

But 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

Well I said, DеAnn's denim was a stubborn thing

[Verse 2]

Well, I recall a lеtter 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 workin' in vintage and

Procter's daddy did 'em 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

[Chorus]

'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

[Outro]

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

I cleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old blue jeans on the floor
