Came out for the gold rush and haven't gone home
That river shining just keeps going on and on
I've been trudging through the fields
And fishing in the streams
Fading in the sun like a pair of blue jeans
Like a pair of blue jeans
Loosen up around the seams
Patching up these holes down my knee-ee-ees
Getting better with time
It's a beautiful thing
Breaking in this life
Like a pair of blue jeans
Pulled up when the water gets too high
Hanging in the breaze out on the line
Nothing fancy going on here
It's just what you see
Tried and true to you like a pair of blue jeans
Like a pair of blue jeans
Loosen up around the seams
Patching up these holes down my knee-ee-ees
Getting better with time
It's a beautiful thing
Breaking in this life
Like a pair of blue jeans
Gonna keep my leg up on tomorrow
Hold my place and time through all the years
Mountain highs and valley lows
And all that's in between
There ain't nothing in the world like a pair of blue jeans
Like a pair of blue jeans
Loosen up around the seams
Patching up these holes down my knee-ee-ees
Getting better with time
It's a beautiful thing
Breaking in this life
Like a pair of blue jeans, yeah
Breaking in this life
Like a pair of blue jeans
