Lyrics New Jacket -

New Jacket

I woke up too early on Saturday
And my coffee cream was runnin' dry
But the milkmaid drops a bottle off at 8 And I ain’t too hard to satisfy
If I got nothin' better to do
I guess I oughta get up and step outside
From the front porch I can feel the mornin' sun, its enough to open up my eyes
I picked up the reigns of that smokin' gun
Right where I set her down last night
Yeah, she got me thinkin' I oughtta step out in the daylight, I could sho' go
for a drive
In my big block 455, I hold it steady
Pulled over at the Black Cafe, singin «lift me up, mrs marlene»
She poured me up some hot black coffee, pound of sugar, splash of cream
And when she rung me up the handed me a biscuit, and said boy you’re lookin way
too lean
Yeah, she threw it in for free!
Thank you ma’am!
It was there on the corner in a store front daze
With a cool breeze up against my back
Shook so hard had to lift my shades
It was top thread, it was jet black
I know I want it
I know I need it
To keep me warm, keep me justified
You know I had to lay my money down
And don’t you know it fit just right
Oooooooh yeah
And I’m steppin' out
Cause I got a new jacket now, yeah
Got a new jacket now
Got a new jacket now, yeah
I got a new jacket now
