Outfit Lyrics

The song Outfit is performed by Drive By Truckers in the album named Decoration Day in the year 2003 .

You want to grow up to paint houses like me, a trailer in my yard till you're 23
You want to be old after 42 years, keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears

Well, I used to go out in a Mustang, a 302 Mach One in green.
Me and your Mama made you in the back and I sold it to buy her a ring.
And I learned not to say much of nothing and I figured you already know
but in case you donæ° or maybe forgot, Iæ£l lay it out real nice and slow

Donæ° call what your wearing an outfit. Donæ° ever say your car is broke.
Donæ° worry about losing your accent, a Southern Man tells better jokes.
Have fun but stay clear of the needle. Call home on your sisteræ¯ birthday.
Donæ° tell them youæ®e bigger than Jesus, donæ° give it away.

Six months in a St. Florian foundry, they call it Industrial Park.
Then hospital maintenance and Tech School just to memorize Frigidaire parts.
But I got to missing your Mama and I got to missing you too.
So I went back to painting for my old man and I guess thatæ¯ what Iæ£l always do

So donæ° try to change who you are boy, and donæ° try to be who you ainæ°.
And donæ° let me catch you in Kendale with a bucket of wealthy-manæ¯ paint.

Donæ° call what your wearing an outfit. Donæ° ever say your car is broke.
Donæ° sing with a fake British accent. Donæ° act like your familyæ¯ a joke.
Have fun, but stay clear of the needle, call home on your sisteræ¯ birthday.
Donæ° tell them youæ®e bigger than Jesus, Donæ° give it away.

Donæ° give it away
