[00:00.000]This Shirt (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:12.242]This shirt is old and faded
[00:15.019]All the color's washed away
[00:17.891]I've had it now for more damn years
[00:20.019]Than I can count anyway
[00:23.571]I wear it beneath my jacket
[00:26.442]With the collar turned up high
[00:29.164]So old I should replace it
[00:32.643]But I'm not about to try
[00:40.851]This shirt's got silver buttons
[00:43.585]And a place upon the sleeve
[00:46.416]Where I used to set my heart up
[00:49.112]Right there anyone could see
[00:52.376]This shirt is the one
[00:54.057]I wore to every boring high school dance
[00:58.256]Where the boys ignored the girls
[01:00.702]And we all pretended to like the band
[01:10.038]This shirt was a pillow for my head
[01:13.006]On a train through Italy
[01:15.876]This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
[01:19.103]We made in argeles
[01:21.823]This shirt was lost for three whole days
[01:24.816]In a town near buffalo
[01:27.591]'Till I found the locker key
[01:30.087]In a downtown trailways bus depot
[01:45.503]This shirt was the one I lent you
[01:48.263]And when you gave it back
[01:51.295]There was a rip inside the sleeve
[01:54.232]Where you rolled your cigarettes
[01:57.160]It was the place I put my heart
[01:59.727]Now look at where you put a tear
[02:03.049]I forgave your thoughtlessness
[02:05.608]But not the boy who put it there
[02:09.120]This shirt was the place your cat
[02:11.536]Decided to give birth to five
[02:14.993]And we stayed up all night watching
[02:17.737]And we wept when the last one died
[02:21.086]This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
[02:26.850]Shining like the memories
[02:29.978]Inside those silver buttons
[02:44.901]This shirt is a grand old relic
[02:47.573]With a grand old history
[02:50.548]I wear it now for Sunday chores
[02:53.495]Cleaning house and raking leaves
[02:56.456]I wear it beneath my jacket
[02:59.408]With the collar turned up high
[03:02.320]So old I should replace it
[03:05.917]But I'm not about to try
