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
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")

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

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

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

And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart

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

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

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.

Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
