HOLDIN’ MY LEVI’S ON By Paul Nye
VERSE 1: I'm packin' up my suitcase, had enough of me Gonna drive my old truck down to Tennessee Banker stopped returnin' every call I've made Even my dog won’t answer when I call his name But that shiny brass button's still holdin' on.
CHORUS: My kids done grew up, friends all moved along Everybody's talkin' ‘bout how life done them wrong Searched everywhere..("Cliché alert!”) 'til the cows came home Got nothin’ I trust… ‘cept that button on the Levi’s I own
VERSE 2: Worn out more blue jeans than I can recall Pulled ‘em on, only to watch them fall Life keeps on changin’ without warnin’ But that button shows up for work every mornin’ Yeah, that shiny button’s still holdin’ on
CHORUS: My kids done grew up, friends all moved along Everybody's talkin' ‘bout how life done them wrong Searched everywhere..("Cliché alert!”) 'til the cows came home Got nothin’ I trust… ‘cept that button on the Levi’s I own
BRIDGE: Yeah, my life might be fallin' apart, But I ain't doin' no sobbin’ Gonna get up in the tomorrow and keep on problem solvin’ 'Cause right now that button’s the only thing holdin' me together …And if it quits… ya gonna see me in the altogether.
LAST CHORUS:
Buttons don't lie… They just do their part
Never break a promise, Never break your heart
Everything else may come undone
But, that shiny brass button keeps my Levi’s up and on
'Cause that little round thing on my jeans won’t let me or them down
