White shirts and neckties the way that my check flies Are part of what's wrong with my soul Risin' expenses and all kinds of fences keep me from where I'd like to go Work complications and stiff conversations they sometimes drive me up the wall Make me want to holler to hell with this collar walk out and just chunk it all What I need is denims and a place to get in 'em and walk over Gods open land And boots of good leather I'd wander wherever I found the beauty from his mighty hands Lots of wide open spaces and quite simple places tells me it's pack up and go time
Cause in jeans and good leather son I could be better in no time I gaze in the mirror and press my face nearer to check out the lines one by one Round eyes that were brighter on cheeks growin' lighter That were once so brown from the sun As I spend starin' I find myself darein' the image that's looking at me To throw off the fetter and seek somethin' better a life that's simple and free What I need is denims...
