Sunday Clothes

歌詞

I found my jacket in the closet Behind my only button down white shirt I put it on, headed out to church For the first time in a long time It got me thinking me back to eight years old Didn't wanna go I fought that tie and those shiny shoes Every time like little boys do But Mama made me go every week While all her friends Sang old time hymns The ones she said blessed her soul But my new blue tie Wouldn't let me breathe I just wanted to go Yeah, mama's the only one That could get me In my Sunday clothes Standing here in the church yard It's still the same old muddy mess where I'd run And get myself all dirtied up Though I'd make her mad, mama'd just laugh While all her friends Sang old time hymns The ones she said blessed her soul But my new blue tie Wouldn't let me breathe I just wanted to go Yeah, mama's the only one That could get me In my Sunday clothes Just like old times There's mud all on my shoes here from the rain But this time she'd understand But she can't see these tears rolling down my face And all her friends Sing old time hymns Lord, the ones that blessed her soul But this 'ol tie won't let me breathe Lord, why'd she have to go Yeah, mama's the only one That could get me In my Sunday clothes
