[Verse 1]
This shirt is old and faded
All the colors washed away
I've had it now for more damn years
Than I can count anyway
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I'm not about to try
[Verse 2]
This shirt's got silver buttons
And a place upon the sleeve
Where I used to set my heart up
Right there where anyone could see
This shirt is the one I wore to
Every boring high school dance
Where the boys ignored the girls
And we all pretended to like the band
[Verse 3]
This shirt was a pillow for my head
On a train through Italy
This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
We made in Argeles
This shirt was lost for three whole days
In a town near Buffalo
'Til I found the locker key
In a downtown Trailways bus depot
This shirt is old and faded
All the colors washed away
I've had it now for more damn years
Than I can count anyway
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I'm not about to try
[Verse 2]
This shirt's got silver buttons
And a place upon the sleeve
Where I used to set my heart up
Right there where anyone could see

[Verse 3]
This shirt was a pillow for my head

This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
We made in Argeles
This shirt was lost for three whole days
