I found that old jacket down the alleyway
Ripped sleeves and memories worn
It's seen more life than I can say
In every tear it's a story born
That leather's cracked but still it stands
Just like the beats of a broken band
Faded print color's turned to grey
I wear it proud come what may
Tattered jacket oh you hold me tight
In the darkest storm you're my light
Stitched with dreams and patched with strife
You're my armor in this wild life
In every pocket there's a hidden tale
Of late-night rides and freight train rails
From distant towns where voices fade
You keep my secrets in your shade
I wouldn't trade you for a brand-new coat
You're my warrior my anecdote
In a world of polished fame and flash
You're the relic I'll forever stash
Tattered jacket oh you hold me tight
In the darkest storm you're my light
Stitched with dreams and patched with strife
You're my armor in this wild life
