Hank Green - T-Shirt And Jeans lyrics
[Hank Green - T-Shirt And Jeans lyrics]
One, two, one, two, three, four
I remember when I was a young man
My mama took me to the store
And I was scared out of my mind
As I stared at that dressing room door
I was like: "What if the pants are
Too bright, too dark, too baggy, too light
Too big, wrong cut
Or too tight and mom was like:
"Just be yourself, son
Whatever you choose will be right"
Well, it's like she knew my very soul
'Cause the pants I bought that
Day would change my life
I left that store with a uniform
That I was wearing when I met my wife
And at my first pop-rock show
And when I touched my first boob
And the first time I read Thoreau
I did it all in my
T-shirt and jeans
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
People who know me know
That I try not to say too
Much just with my clothes
And if you wanna get to know me, man
We're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
(t-shirt and jeans)
Well, jeans are pretty great
They're durable and comfortable
They're pants made out of plants
So, it's hard to argue they're unethical
And a shirt can say a little or a lot
I'm a fan of unironic images of things I like
Like giraffes or my youtube friends or bands
Or chickens, Jesus, nerds or bikes
But, if you really wanna know what I love
Most about this wardrobe
It's that it tells you very little
About what lies beneath these clothes
Just by looking at me
You would never know if I'm a
Thousandaire or a billionaire
I wanna tell you with my mouth
Not with the clothes I wear
Well, I think it's odd how when we rebel
We put on uniforms
Like eyeliner or fancy pants
That come factory pre-torn it's easy to say
That a guy must be a certain way
Just because he dresses offbeat
And a subcultural shortcut
Might be what he's going for
But, it's always gonna be incomplete
Yeah, we're never really ever gonna
Know what that means
Which is I why wear
T-shirt and jeans
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
People who know me know
That I try not to say too
Much just with my clothes
And if you wanna get to know me, man
We're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
We're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
Yeah, we're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
Well, we're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
