When This Shirt Was New

Can barely read the letters printed on the front
 From the band and the show where I got it from
 Tried to steal it from me, tried to trade me for it
 I swear it's never looked better than the day you wore it
 Got some holes in it, got some paint on
 I remember us as clear as the day I bought it
 When this shirt was new, and we were two
 Rock 'n' roll love-blind lovers
 Time may fade the blue to gray
 What we had don't wash away, no
 I'm always thinking 'bout it, always smiling 'bout it
 That fast car, guitar summer
 And the girl that I loved
 Back when this shirt was new
 You know I love that picture, you look so happy in it
 Life goes by fast, man, they weren't kiddin'
 You probably cut your hair, changed a thing or two, but
 You asleep in my shirt's how I remember you
 It's got some years on it, had your tears on it
 Still get a little choked up
 When this shirt was new, and we were two
 Rock 'n' roll love-blind lovers
 Time may fade the blue to gray
 What we had don't wash away
 I'm always thinking 'bout it, I'm always smiling 'bout it
 That fast car, guitar summer
 And the girl that I loved
 Back when this shirt was new
 Yeah, your memory just gets better with time
 Softer, sweeter in the back of my mind
 And once in a while, I unfold it
 Hold it against my skin
 I start remembering back
 When this shirt was new, and we were two
 Just love-blind lovers
 And time may fade the blue to gray
 But what we had
 When this shirt was new, and we were two
 Rock 'n' roll love-blind lovers
 Time may fade the blues to gray
 What we had don't wash away
 I always think about it, wouldn't be me without it
 That fast car, guitar summer
 And the girl that I loved
 Back when this shirt was new
 And the girl that I loved
 Back when this shirt was new
 And the girl that I loved
 Back when this shirt was new
