Lyrics

44 Long
Words and Music by Brent Wilson

I?ve only got one suit
One good pair of shoes
And I never want any more than that
?Cause I don?t wear it much
It?s just collecting dust
I only put it on when the news is bad
Just old memories I want to keep in the closet
But they creep out no matter how tight I lock it

CHORUS
44 long days last summer he fought the fight
I buried my dad wearing that polyester and pinstripes
It hurts so much each time I put it on
Life seems so short
Each time I sport that 44 long

It never did fit right
The chest is just too tight
Maybe that?s why it?s hard to breathe
Each time I put it on
Emotions come on strong
It hits my heart when my arm hits the sleeve

CHORUS
44 long years she was my daddy?s bride
But I?m sayin? goodbye wearin? this polyester and pinstripes
It hurts so much each time I put it on
Life seems so short
Each time I sport this 44 long

CHORUS
44 long years they loved side by side
But I?ll see them again wearin? this polyester and pinstripes
Next time I?ll wear it is when I?m finally goin? Home
I?ll see them again wearin? this 44 long
Next time I wear it the pain will all be gone
I?ll see them again wearin? this 44 long
