Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.

("Me & Bobby McGee")

And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis

I wear my jeans a little tight just to watch the little boys come undone

They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the sky
And though you want them to last forever you know they never will
Know they never will
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh Very Young
Cat Stevens

Still looking for that
blue jean baby queen
prettiest girl I ever seen
see her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean...

And I can't forget the endless rows
Of eatless nights
And sleepless nights
And nights without a nickel in my jeans

But it's all in the game
And the way you play it
And you have to play the game, you know
When you are born in a trunk
In the Princess Theater
In Pocatello, Idaho

(H. Arlen/I. Gershwin, "Born in a Trunk", from "A Star Is Born")

And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart

For Crying Out Loud
Meat Loaf sang it

Sarah said...

Why'd you come in here looking like that?
With your cowboy boots and your painted on jeans

Dolly Parton

My mother was a taylor;
Sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans.

--"House of the Rising Sun" covered by many; did The Animals do it first?

It's been over 24 hours, so I'm putting in another:

She's looking real fast in her faded jeans.
She's a hard-lovin' woman,
Got me feelin' mean.

--"Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot

You look good in anything,
Making me feel like a king,
Dressed in denim and lace.
