Leather Weather

Original

I met a girl in Detroit named Montana

She had a few freckles under her eyes

I met a man in Montreal with mob ties

We stayed up all night in Amsterdam one time

I've seen a bunch of faces I'll never remember

I mean it when I say that I wish I could

My head's in outer space now, higher than ever

Can't wait to take it back to my neighborhood

Put on my jacket, to know how I feel

You see a jacket, yeah-yeah and I see a shield

I'm leaving for a minute, I hope that you'll miss me

I promise that I'll come back home, my friend

I swear that if I could, I would take you with me

And never have to come back home again

I'm ready for what's next, even if it kills me

I'm ready for whatever will let me rest

I gotta admit I've been runnin' on empty

I'll just keep going 'til there's nothin' left

Put on my jacket, to know how I feel

You see a jacket, yeah-yeah and I see a shield

Put on my jacket when you get scared

When you get cold, when I'm not there to hold ya

Just put on my jacket

Put on my jacket

I'm back in La-La-Land again

I took out a loan, I went on the road, yeah

I made a few friends, and lost a few

I always give it a second chance, yeah

But after the third strike, you're making my nerves tight

It's hurtin' my head, and my heart and my back and my legs

Put on my jacket if you get scared

If you get cold, if you need me there

Just put on my jacket, I'm right here

Put on my jacket, to know how I feel

You see a jacket, yeah-yeah and I see a shield

Put on my jacket when you get scared

When you get cold, when I'm not there to hold ya

Just put on my jacket

Put on my jacket
