As recorded by Zach Bryan (2026 release) [Intro] C F C Am G C [Verse 1]
C
Well, DeAnn's denim dress has got a dandelion scent

     F                                 C
That drifts with her as she rounds the door

     Am                            G
It's all photographic, if not from eight, then ten years back

     C                                  F
Of a birthday cake with a lit-up twenty-four

      C
And I miss times I drank 'cause I'd never overthink

      F                     C
And I never gave in to this lore

    Am                            G
You ain't Jesus Christ 'cause you don't think twice

C                             F
Sunday when you pass a liquor store
[Chorus]
      Am   G       F           C
Well, time changes all, you'll see

        C                F           C      Am7
Did you become what your mama wanted you to be?

            Am               G              F      C
And are you strong enough to stay away from family genes?

       C       F           G        Am
'Cause DeAnn's denim was a stubborn thing

Am      G               F    C
DeAnn's denim was a stubborn thing
[Verse 2]
C
Well, I recall a letter that she sent me on base

     F                     C
When I was out playin' a patriot

    Am                       G
She said she was leaving the house, headed out

    C                         F
And finally had the nerve for facin' it

    C
The jeans that her daddy left were workin' in vintage and

F                               C
Procter's daddy did 'em the same

        Am                              G
He said I could change my suit and tie, pray all night to Jesus Christ

         C                        F
But he'd belt my ass if I changed my name
[Chorus]
       Am   G       F           C
'Cause time changes all, you'll see

        C                F            C      Am
Did you become what your daddy wanted her to be?

        Am               G              F      C
Was she strong enough to stay away from family genes?

       Am         F           G    Am
'Cause sometimes, denim is an ugly thing

     Am         G           F    C
Well sometimes, denim is an ugly thing
[Outro]

     F                                 C

Am                                 G                              C                      F
Cleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old blue jeans on the floor

      Am                             G                              C                 F
I cleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old blue jeans on the floor

  Am                                 G                          C                     F
