This Suit Has Seen Me Through

I'm just a simple man I wear a cowboy hat and boots I only shave when I'm asked too In my closet hangs one suit Cause it's been there for me Like a good friend till the end It's been put through the wringer I think it's even had some mends It may be a little tattered It may be a little worn But it's much more than a suit It's helped me weather my life's storms It holds onto some memories Teardrops, it's caught a few Many happy, many sad, through the good times and the bad That suit has seen me through It stood with me at the eulogy That I gave for my granddad It was there as my best friend Honored me as his best man It was there when the preacher Asked me if I'd say I do When I got down on one knee, and you said yes to me Even on our honeymoon It holds onto some memories Teardrops, it's caught a few Many happy, many sad, through the good times and the bad That suit has seen me through It's pockets held the tissues That held the memories from my eyes Though some may call them teardrops I prefer to call them life It may be just clothes to you But to me it's like a song It returns me to the places Where my heart's come and gone So I hope that you won't judge me When they put me in the ground In that suite of memories, past Heavens gate I'll be Cause this suit has seen me through
