This Shirt - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00.1]This Shirt - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:12.24]This shirt is old and faded
[00:15.01]All the color's washed away
[00:17.89]I've had it now for more d**n years
[00:20.01]Than I can count anyway
[00:23.57]I wear it beneath my jacket
[00:26.44]With the collar turned up high
[00:29.16]So old I should replace it
[00:32.64]But I'm not about to try
[00:40.85]This shirt's got silver buttons
[00:43.58]And a place upon the sleeve
[00:46.41]Where I used to set my heart up
[00:49.11]Right there anyone could see
[00:52.37]This shirt is the one
[00:54.05]I wore to every boring high school dance
[00:58.25]Where the boys ignored the girls
[01:00.7]And we all pretended to like the band
[01:10.03]This shirt was a pillow for my head
[01:13.0]On a train through Italy
[01:15.87]This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
[01:19.1]We made in argeles
[01:21.82]This shirt was lost for three whole days
[01:24.81]In a town near buffalo
[01:27.59]'Till I found the locker key
[01:30.08]In a downtown trailways bus depot
[01:45.5]This shirt was the one I lent you
[01:48.259995]And when you gave it back
[01:51.29]There was a rip inside the sleeve
[01:54.229996]Where you rolled your cigarettes
[01:57.16]It was the place I put my heart
[01:59.72]Now look at where you put a tear
[02:03.04]I forgave your thoughtlessness
[02:05.6]But not the boy who put it there
[02:09.12]This shirt was the place your cat
[02:11.53]Decided to give birth to five
[02:14.99]And we stayed up all night watching
[02:17.73]And we wept when the last one died
[02:21.08]This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
[02:26.85]Shining like the memories
[02:29.97]Inside those silver buttons
[02:44.9]This shirt is a grand old relic
[02:47.57]With a grand old history
[02:50.54001]I wear it now for Sunday chores
[02:53.49]Cleaning house and raking leaves
[02:56.45]I wear it beneath my jacket
[02:59.4]With the collar turned up high
[03:02.32]So old I should replace it
[03:05.91]But I'm not about to try
