Road Runner (My Light Blue Denim Leisure Suit)
D G D
D
Back through the years I go wandering once again
G
Back to the seasons of my youth
D
I recall a roll of blue denim grandpa gave us
G
And how my mamma put that denim to use
D
It was blue and light in colour, and she had to use it all
A
And I needed a brand new suit for my school pictures later that fall
D G
Mamma sewed three suits together, sewing every piece with love
G D A D
She made one for me and my older brother and one more for my dad.
D
As she sewed she told the story about a dream she once had
A
About a 'Sears' family picture where everybody's cloths were matched
D G
Perhaps this suit will bring you good luck and lots of friends
D A D
And I just couldn't wait to wear it 'cause mamma blessed it with a kiss
G D
My light blue denim leisure suit that my mamma made for me
G D A
For I was right in style the year was nineteen seventy three
D G
Although it didn't cost much money, it fit me perfectly
D A D
It was my light blue denim leisure suit my mamma made for me
Put on your suit; it's time for school!
Key Change
E
So with blue patches my elbows and a tie around my neck
B7
In my light blue denim leisure suit, I hurried off to school
E A
Just to find the other kids laughing and making fun of me
E B7 E
In my light blue denim leisure suit my mamma made for me
E
Well, I didn't understand it for it was such a perfect fit
B7
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in every stitch
E A
I told them all 'bout the dream mamma told me while she sewed
E
And how my light blue denim leisure suit
B7 E
Was worth more than all their clothes.
A E
They didn't understand it tho I tried to make them see
A E B7
For they were only jealous 'Cause they didn't have a suit like me
E A
It's true, we looked kinda funny, all lined up one, two, three
E B7 A
In my light blue denim leisure suit that mamma made for me
A B7 E
...For my dad, my brother and me...
