Black Leather Jacket Songtext / Lyric

I wore a black leather jacket way back in high school

And man, lookin' back at these pictures of us, we were so cool

You were so hot in your pink lipstick

Painted on the end of a lit cigarette

And I loved you girl, yeah, I loved you girl



And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin' next to you

Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you

We're countin' down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static

Three Polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool black, leather jacket



A little tattered and torn, it still keeps me warm on a Friday night

Bandana patch from kickin' some ass in a frat boy fight

You wore it in the stands at the football games

Some ink beneath the sleeve, I still wear your name

And I loved you girl, yeah, I still love you girl






And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin' next to you

Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you

We're countin' down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static

Three Polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool black, leather jacket



I know you grew up, I grew up, too

You got two kids, hell, I got two kids, too

Thank God they look like you



And every night I put it back it on and I'm sixteen sittin' next to you

Down by the river if you get the shivers, I'll put it around you

We're makin' them memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static

Three words, two rings, and one real cool, black, leather jacket



Well, there's nothin' in the world makes me feel more alive

When its just you and me and the moon is high

I slip into the sleeves and with your hand in mine

I go back to the night when I fell into your eyes



Two kids just fallin' in love

And here we are right now, good heavens above

It's only getting better, baby

It's only getting better, baby

I just love that black, leather jacket
