Lyrics
[Verse 1] Faded blue threads, patched at the knee Carried me through hell, set my soul free Coal dust stains from the seams I crawled Wore ‘em when the world felt too damn small [Pre-Chorus] Through the fields at dawn, ‘neath the red dirt’s glow Every tear and fray tells the life I know They held me tight when my heart was torn Wrapped my bones where my truth was born [Chorus] These old Wranglers feel like home Carved my story in thread and stone From the mines to the roads where I learned to roam These old Wranglers feel like home [Verse 2] Sweat-soaked days in the summer’s blaze Danced in ‘em drunk under starlit haze They caught my blood when her lies cut deep Held my pride when I couldn’t sleep [Pre-Chorus] Through the fields at dawn, ‘neath the red dirt’s glow Every tear and fray tells the life I know They held me tight when my heart was torn Wrapped my bones where my truth was born [Chorus] These old Wranglers feel like home Carved my story in thread and stone From the mines to the roads where I learned to roam These old Wranglers feel like home [Bridge] No mansion’s walls, no city’s shine Could fit my soul like this denim’s mine From the hollers’ cry to the songs I sing They’re the roots of every damn thing [Verse 3] Got a hole in the pocket where I keep my dreams Faded whiskers, a worn-out sheen Seen better days, but they’re holding on strong Like the memories that keep me going along [Chorus] These old Wranglers feel like home Carved my story in thread and stone From the mines to the roads where I learned to roam These old Wranglers feel like home [Outro] Fiddle hums low, as the night winds moan These old Wranglers feel like home Yeah, these old Wranglers feel like home
