Can't Be Replaced

  • Levi jacket broken in just right
    I left it on the bleachers that Friday night
    Felt so cool in the stone-washed fade
    There's just some things that can't be replaced
    That runaround freedom summer eighty-nine
    Spinnin' that bottle on a lot of first times
    It was all summed up on a Memorex mixtape
    There's just some things that can't be replaced

    Woah, it don't matter how hard you try
    Woah, all the money in the world won't ever buy
    What you miss, what you want back
    It'd be nice, but life don't work like that
    You can get damn close, but it won't ever be the same
    There's just some things that can't be replaced
    There's just some things that can't be replaced

    Sediment hay, and a heart of gold
    Chevy Cavalier on an old back-road
    A boot's farm kiss that I still taste
    There's just some things that can't be replaced

    Woah, no matter how hard you try
    Woah, all the money in the world won't ever buy
    What you miss, what you want back
    It'd be nice, but life don't work like that
    You can get damn close, but it won't ever be the same
    There's just some things that can't be replaced
    Woah

    For fifteen years right by my side
    From a single man to three kids and a wife
    Friends come and go, but when it comes to Jake
    There's just some things that can't be replaced

    Woah, no matter how hard you try
    Woah, all the money in the world won't ever buy
    What you miss, what you want back
    It'd be nice, but life don't work like that
    You can get damn close, but it won't ever be the same
    There's just some things that can't be replaced
    There's just some things that can't be replaced
