  • (mary chapin carpenter)
  • This shirt is old and faded
  • All the colors washed away
  • Ive had it now for more damn years
  • Than I can count anyway
  • I wear it beneath my jacket
  • With the collar turned up high
  • So old I should replace it
  • But Im not about to try
  • This shirts got silver buttons
  • And a place upon the sleeve
  • Where I used to set my heart up
  • Right there anyone could see
  • This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance
  • Where the boys ignored the girls
  • And we all pretended to like the band
  • This shirt was a pillow for my head
  • On a train through italy
  • This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
  • We made in argeles
  • This shirt was lost for three whole days
  • In a town near buffalo
  • till I found the locker key
  • In a downtown trailways bus depot
  • This shirt was the one I lent you
  • And when you gave it back
  • There was a rip inside the sleeve
  • Where you rolled your cigarettes
  • It was the place I put my heart
  • Now look at where you put a tear
  • I forgave your thoughtlessness
  • But not the boy who put it there
  • This shirt was the place your cat
  • Decided to give birth to five
  • And we stayed up all night watching
  • And we wept when the last one died
  • This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
  • Shining like the memories
  • Inside those silver buttons
  • This shirt is a grand old relic
  • With a grand old history
  • I wear it now for sunday chores
  • Cleaning house and raking leaves
  • I wear it beneath my jacket
  • With the collar turned up high
  • So old I should replace it
  • But Im not about to try
