Right behind my left pocket

That is where you'll feel my soul

It's been with me many winters

It will keep you warm



When a father's love is doin' you wrong

When a mother's love is bringin' you home

When you needed, needed, needed, needed a stone

Someone to lean on

Now I know I could never sit in his chair

And that missin' love left you bare, yeah

But if I'm bein' selfish, that gave me a reason to be there

With my flannel on



Right behind my left pocket

That is where you'll feel my soul

It's been with me many winters

It will keep you warm



You see, I've been down that road before

And I wouldn't dare say that my hurt was more

But a little spitfire hurt you, boy

With nothin' to lean on (nothin' to lean on)

It's bound to go down after a couple empty cans

And I knew once I saw that fancy record company man

And in her face, she knew I was a stan

I was leavin' with my flannel on



Right behind my left pocket

That is where you'll feel my soul

It's been with me many winters

It will keep you warm

The character's in the way you wear it

It takes your shape while you keep it on

May we live for many winters

Keepin' each other warm



Now I pledge you'll never ever be alone again

And I pledge these arms and chest are here to hold you in from the cold



Right behind my left pocket

That is where you'll feel my soul

It's been with me many winters

It will keep you warm

Ooh, here's my flannel

The character's in the way you wear it (the way you wear it)

It takes your shape while you keep it on (all you gotta do is keep it on)

May we live for many winters

Keepin' each other warm

And may we live for many winters

Keepin' each other warm



(Do you see?

Look at all of it from up here

It's beautiful, it's beautiful

Do you see it?

It's in the air

It's in your blood

It's in your skin

Can you see it from up here?

Can you taste it?

Can you touch it?

It's in the earth

It's in the sky

Do you see me?

Do you see me?

Do you see me?

Do you see me?)
