Worn-Out Flannel
The radio was playing something slow When the headlights swerved and the
world let go
I still feel the weight of your head on my lap Just
a boy in a red car,
never coming back
Since that night in twenty-three,
the silence got so loud
I was fading in the dark,
losing my way around But then he showed up in a worn-out
flannel shirt
With the same crooked grin that could heal any hurt And I
know it ain't a sign,
it's just a crazy twist of fate
But he holds my hand like you did,
and it don't feel too late So I'm trying to be better,
trying to make it right
Living for the two of us,
shining through the night Yeah,
I'm trying to make you proud
He laughs at jokes I know you would've made
And he carries your picture in a locket on a chain
Sometimes I catch him looking at the sky
Like he's hearing something special
in the passing of a cloud
And it breaks my heart a little,
but it mends it just the same 'Cause I know you're watching
over us, calling out our names But then he showed up in
a worn-out flannel shirt
With the same crooked grin that could heal any hurt And I
know it ain't a sign,
it's just a crazy twist of fate
But he holds my hand like you did,
and it don't feel too late So I'm trying to be better,
trying to make it right
Living for the two of us,
shining through the night Yeah,
I'm trying to make you proud They say time is a healer,
but I don't know if that's true
'Cause every sunset
paints a different shade of you
And every song that touches something in my soul Breathes your name,
making me whole But then he showed up in a worn-out flannel
shirt
With the same crooked grin that could heal any hurt And I
know it ain't a sign,
it's just a crazy twist of fate
But he holds my hand like you did,
and it don't feel too late So I'm trying to be better,
trying to make it right
Living for the two of us,
shining through the night Yeah,
I'm trying to make you proud
(Trying to make you proud) Just a girl and a boy
and a love that never ends (Trying to make you proud) 'Cause
you're always with us,
my dear, dear friend (Trying to make you proud) (Trying to make
you
proud)
