Lyrics
(yeah) (real ones know) Jacket still smells like last year’s smoke Worn-out leather, but it held me close Every crease got a story etched Every scar something I survived, not flexed Didn’t grow up polished or clean Just learned how to stand in between Where dreams get heavy and hope stay thin That’s where I learned how to dig in I don’t hide what the miles did to me I let ‘em show what they built in me If it look rough, that’s honesty I ain’t meant to shine pristine Worn-out leather, still holding strong Been through storms, but it kept me warm I don’t replace what earned its wear I respect what made it there Yeah, worn-out leather, still my skin Every scratch proof I lived in it I don’t need new to feel better I move solid in worn-out leather (yeah) I seen people crack under praise I seen silence save me days If it ain’t broke, I don’t discard I learned value don’t fade, it scars They chase shine till it peels away I stay true till the seams fray If it lasted through the worst nights It deserves to see the good life I don’t regret what aged me It protected what remained in me If I outgrow some things I wear I still thank ‘em for getting me here Worn-out leather, still holding strong Been through storms, but it kept me warm I don’t replace what earned its wear I respect what made it there Yeah, worn-out leather, still my skin Every scratch proof I lived in it I don’t need new to feel better I move solid in worn-out leather If it cracked, it didn’t fail It stretched with me through every mile I don’t chase flawless anymore I trust what’s weathered, nothing more (still solid) (still here) Worn-out leather taught me patience Taught me pride without embellishment If I look seasoned, that’s experience I don’t hide age, I wear resilience Yeah, worn-out leather, earned respect Didn’t quit when it got complex If I ever switch my outer layer I’ll still be built like worn-out leather (real ones know) (still holding)
