Good Pair of Jeans

I was stuck on the lyrics of another song and decided to switch to this idea.

45 minutes later this was written and recorded.

Sometimes a song just needs its own space.

my fav’rite hat is crushed and flat, it’s ragged at the brim
my next best boots are scuffed n scraped and looking mighty grim
my overcoat of black cashmere no longer looks as slim
but nothing beats a good pair of jeans

nothing beats a good pair of jeans
just take a look at these and you’ll see what I mean
blue or black, I’d even wear ’em aquamarine
nothing beats a good pair of jeans

my sweetheart has a couple pairs with legs as long as hers
they seem to fit her well enough and follow all her curves
follow ’em down to the ground, down where she wears her spurs
no, nothing beats a good pair of jeans

nothing beats a good pair of jeans
turn around and check the mirror, you’ll see what I mean
I’m thinking maybe she should get a pair in aubergine
nothing beats a good pair of jeans

I put all the holes in these; they ain’t no acid wash
I got some from Levi and some others from Oshkosh
wear ’em when I sit and read, wear ’em when I nosh,
’cause nothing beats a good pair of jeans

nothing beats a good pair of jeans
take a look down at your own and you’ll see what I mean
blue or black, I’d even wear ’em aquamarine
I’m thinking maybe we should all get a pair in tangerine
if your best friend’s Cap’n Kangaroo you can even wear ’em green
’cause nothing beats a good pair of jeans
no nothing beats a good pair of jeans

but nothing beats a good pair of jeans

my sweetheart has a couple pairs with legs as long as hers
they seem to fit her well enough and follow all her curves
follow ’em right to the ground, right where she wears her spurs
no, nothing beats a good pair of jeans

I put all the holes in these; they ain’t no acid wash
I got some from Levi and some others from Oshkosh
wear ’em when I sit and read, wear ’em when I nosh,
’cause nothing beats a good pair of jeans
