[Intro]
C F C Am G
C
[Verse 1]
CWell, DeAnn's denim dress has got a dandelion scent
F CThat drifts with her as she rounds the door
Am GIt's all photographic, if not from eight, then ten years back
C FOf a birthday cake with a lit-up twenty-four
CAnd I miss times I drank 'cause I'd never overthink
F CAnd I never gave in to this lore
Am GYou ain't Jesus Christ 'cause you don't think twice
C FSunday when you pass a liquor store
[Chorus]
Am G F CWell, time changes all, you'll see
C F C Am7Did you become what your mama wanted you to be?
Am G F CAnd are you strong enough to stay away from family genes?
C F G Am'Cause DeAnn's denim was a stubborn thing
Am G F CDeAnn's denim was a stubborn thing
[Verse 2]
CWell, I recall a letter that she sent me on base
F CWhen I was out playin' a patriot
Am GShe said she was leaving the house, headed out
C FAnd finally had the nerve for facin' it
CThe jeans that her daddy left were workin' in vintage and
F CProcter's daddy did 'em the same
Am GHe said I could change my suit and tie, pray all night to Jesus Christ
C FBut he'd belt my ass if I changed my name
[Chorus]
Am G F C'Cause time changes all, you'll see
C F C AmDid you become what your daddy wanted her to be?
Am G F CWas she strong enough to stay away from family genes?
Am F G Am'Cause sometimes, denim is an ugly thing
Am G F CWell sometimes, denim is an ugly thing
[Outro]
CWell, DeAnn's denim dress has got a dandelion scent
F CThat drifts with her as she rounds the door
Am G C FCleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old blue jeans on the floor
Am G C FI cleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old blue jeans on the floor
Am G C FI cleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old blue jeans on the floor
