Lyrics
Verse 1
You walk out wearing that faded thing of mineSleeves too long and the collar out of lineYou think you look a mess, I lose my breathGirl, you wear my whole life better than I ever did
Chorus
My old shirtLooks right on youMy old shirtStill rings true
Verse 2
I bought it cheap on a long-ago runNow it’s softer and it’s seen some sunCoffee stains and a little tearStill the prettiest thing hanging anywhere
Chorus
My old shirtLooks right on youMy old shirtStill rings true
Bridge
I worked those hours so we could keep a lightYou turned that cotton into a quiet kind of prideDon’t need diamonds when I got this viewJust you swimming in the blue I used to use
Verse 3
Tonight you’ll fall asleep in that same old threadI’ll pull you closer like the first time we metIf heaven’s got a dress code I don’t careI’ll take you in my shirt with that silver in your hair
Chorus
My old shirtLooks right on youMy old shirtStill rings true
Bridge
Keep stealing it, I bought it just for thatA working man’s heart on a woman’s backLong as you wear what’s mine like it’s homeI’ll keep coming back and calling you my own
