Green jacket, faded seams
Seen you standing, daydreams
Never trading, never selling
Just a smile when the bells are ringing
Green jacket, worn so long
Green jacket, still holding on
Never trade, never lack it
Nitwit’s got that green jacket
Morning light, you’re by the gate
Never hurry, never late
Old soul, been here awhile
Walking slow with a quiet smile
Green jacket, worn so long
Green jacket, still holding on
Never trade, never lack it
Nitwit’s got that green jacket
Where’d you get it? You won’t say
Ask again and you walk away
Still it holds, the thread and seam
Greenest coat in the whole darn scene.
Green jacket, worn so long
Green jacket, still holding on
Never trade, never lack it
Nitwit’s got that green jacket
Green jacket, worn so true
World keeps changing, not you
