Marathon Shirt Lyrics - Self

Tell me who's to blame for this ink spot, question mark, 

Blood-stained sleeves in the parking lot 

I've had it since I was twelve and I wear it like hell 

Wash it when it gets worn, dirty, tattered, torn 

Fell in love with me and wears me with pride 

We bathe in ultra tide when I start to feel guilty 

And everyone's jealous cause they wish they had it 

I'm half a man without it 

I'm the king of style 

And I'll keep on wearing my marathon shirt 

And I'll wear it everyday til it hurts 

And I got no lady over her 

Confidence-a-plenty in my marathon shirt 

Once loaned her to a friend for a party and I worried all 

Night like a mother does 

And when she returned all wrinkled and helpless, she smelled 

Of cheap cigarettes and other drugs 

I'd wear her in any season 

I'd wear her for any reason 

The only promise in my life's that shirt of mine 

And day after day, as her colors fade away, I'll remember 

What she felt like the first time 

Now I've come to lay you down 

You can soak into the sound and I'm so elated 

She can't be recreated and the water's turning brown 

My baby she's no hand-me-down
