Patches Lyrics by Nate Fredrick

Different Shade of Blue

2021

[Verse 1]
He slid 'em on on Saturday morning
There's nothing like a pair of jeans that are worn in
Mama's bandana patchwork had come undone
A slide into home
That back right pocket just couldn't hold on
There's nothing Mum can't sew
But she couldn't stitch and fix this time
[Chorus]
I guess that's the way it goes
Some things you can fix 'til it just stay broke
You can reminisce 'til the cows come home
But there ain't no sense when there's too many holes
So it's in with the new and out with the old
[Verse 2]
His dad drove it ten years beforе
Brother got the keys to that Chryslеr four door
By the time he was sixteen, it was twenty-three
Said "Good luck with that thing"
With a smile and a wink
Tossed him the keys
Well, it ran for a week
Until that old engine just gave out
[Chorus]
I guess that's the way it goes
Some things you can fix 'til it just stay broke
You can reminisce 'til the cows come home
But there ain't no sense when there's too many holes
So it's in with the new and out with the old
[Bridge]
She was his first kiss
But he didn't know then, wouldn't be his last goodbye
I suppose even people wear out sometimes
[Chorus]
I guess that's the way it goes
Some things you can fix 'til it just stay broke
You can reminisce 'til the cows come home
But there ain't no sense when there's too many holes
So it's in with the new and out with the old
[Outro]
So it's in with the new and out with the old
