Lyrics

Well, 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 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 overthinkAnd I never gave into this lore You ain't Jesus Christ 'cause you don't think twice Sunday when you pass the liquor store [Chorus] Well, 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 thingWell, DeAnn's denim was a stubborn thing [Verse 2] Well, I recall a letter that she sent to me on base When I was out playin' a patriot She said she was leaving the house, headed out And finally had the nerve for facin' it The jeans that her daddy left were workin' in vintage and Procter's daddy did 'em the sameHe said I could change my suit and tie, pray all night to Jesus ChristBut 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 thingWell, sometimes, denim is an ugly thing [Outro] Well, 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
