Black Jacket Lyrics by Tim McGraw

Sundown Heaven Town [Deluxe]

2014

[Verse 1]
I remember how it felt we were sittin' on the roof
You were in my black jacket drinkin' up the view
We were Romeo and Juliet smoking like cigarettes
All night long

[Verse 2]
Countin' yellow cabs we were showing tattoos
On top of the world we had nothing to lose
Fallin' like snowflakes crashin' out at your place
What went wrong

[Chorus]
If I see you out tonight
You'll think I'm doin' alright
'Cause you can't see
What's underneath this black jacket
Is a broken heart
And I never take it off
'Cause I just can't hang it up
It's too torn apart
This black jacket has a broken heart

[Verse 3]
I still use your umbrella when I'm waking in the rain
I can't help but crack a smile everytime I hear a train
I never got your music 'til you left and made me use it
Just to keep you 'round, it's a small world town

[Chorus]
If I see you out tonight
You'll think I'm doin' alright
'Cause you can't see
What's underneath this black jacket
Is a broken heart
I never take it off
'Cause I just can't hang it up
It's too torn apart
This black jacket has a broken heart

[Bridge]
One day I'm gonna take it off
Send it up in my flames
Oh I won't even hear it
When somebody says your name
Nothin' left to hide
I won't even hurt
Yeah, I'll be alright in a white t-shirt
But, if I see you out tonight

[Chorus]
If I see you out tonight
You'll think I'm doin' alright
'Cause you can't see
What's underneath this black jacket
Is a broken heart
I never take it off
'Cause I just can't hang it up
It's too torn apart
This black jacket has a broken heart
