One Set of Warm Clothes

i’ll take the money
and buy one set of warm clothes
so you’ll know i won’t get cold,
one set of warm clothes
to make up for all the missing ones,
i’ll buy a Filson coat,
some custom Levi’s denim,
a Pendleton shirt,
some Red Wing boots,
and some Darn Tough
wool socks,
one set of warm clothes
so you’ll know i won’t get cold,
isn’t that what a good mother would want?
one set of warm clothes
that’ll keep me warm for years,
i’ll throw in a hat and gloves,
a bolo tie
and a new wallet
for the change,
and maybe i’ll wear that
Filson coat
until it’s my time to rise,
one set of warm clothes
to remember you by,
i’ll buy one set of warm clothes
so you’ll know i won’t get cold,
and to try to forget that scared
empty stare of death
in your eyes.
