Pair of Jeans
(Levi's Rock)
Nothing snug around my waist,
choking my legs with spandex.
Give me a comfy pair of jeans,
something denim, worn and true.
Holy blue, flared legs, straight legged,
boot cut, hell give me some bell bottoms.
Button fly 501's.
Pavement colored carpenter's jeans.
Broken in, tear in the knees.
Heel hems ragged, dragged on the concrete.
Loved to death and worn some more.
I don't want to buy prefabricated holes,
no, I want to make my own
after years of abusing a good pair of Levi's.
