Red Dirt on Your Jeans: lyrics
- You traded fence rows for the high-rise view.
- Left the morning dew for something shiny and new.
- You’re walking fast in those expensive shoes,
- Trying to lose the only life you ever knew.
- You can change your hair and change your name.
- Try to forget the way the summer rain,
- Tastes like home at the end of the road,
- But you’re carrying a heavy load.
- Honey, you can try to scrub it clean,
- But there’s red dirt on your jeans.
- Yeah, there’s red dirt on your jeans.
- I see you smiling in those filtered lights.
- Chasing down the rhythm of the neon nights.
- But when you’re quiet and the room gets still,
- You’re looking out across the window sill.
- You can change your hair and change your name.
- Try to forget the way the summer rain,
- Tastes like home at the end of the road,
- But you’re carrying a heavy load.
- Honey, you can try to scrub it clean,
- But there’s red dirt on your jeans.
- Yeah, there’s red dirt on your jeans.
- It’s in the seams and it’s in your soul.
- It’s the part of you you can’t control.
- No matter how far you choose to go,
- It’s the only truth you really know.
- You can change your hair and change your name.
- Try to forget the way the summer rain,
- Tastes like home at the end of the road,
- But you’re carrying a heavy load.
- Honey, you can try to scrub it clean,
- But there’s red dirt on your jeans.
- Yeah, there’s red dirt on your jeans.
