Black Leather Jacket

I wore a black leather jacket way back in high school

And man, lookin back at these pictures of us, we were so cool

You were so hot in your pink lipstick

Painted on the end of a lit cigarette

And I loved you girl, yeah, I loved you girl

[Chorus]

And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you

Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you

Were countin down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static

Three polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket

A little tattered and torn, it still keeps me warm on a Friday night

Bandana patch from kickin some ass in a frat boy fight

You wore it in the stands at the football games

Some ink beneath the sleeve, I still wear your name

And I loved you girl, yeah, I still love you girl

[Chorus]

I know you grew up, I grew up, too

You got two kids, hell, I got two kids, too

Thank God they look like you

And every night I put it back it on and Im sixteen sittin next to you

Down by the river if you get the shivers, Ill put it around you

Were makin them memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static

Three words, two rings, and one real cool, black, leather jacket

Well, there's nothin in the world makes me feel more alive

When its just you and me and the moon is high

I slip into the sleeves and with your hand in mine

I go back to the night when I fell into your eyes

Two kids just fallin in love

And here we are right now, good heavens above

Its only gettin better, baby

Its only getting better, baby

I just love that black, leather jacket
