Leather Jacket
Thunderbitch Lyrics

I want to grow up, to wear a leather jacket
I aspire to be grown up and cool enough to wear a leather jacket as a symbol of my identity and confidence.

And that leather jacket is gonna hold my soul in
The leather jacket will represent and embody my true and honest self, and become an inseparable part of me.

I ain't never gonna take it off
I will never abandon or hide behind my identity, and will always express it through wearing the leather jacket.

Cuz why would I wanna?
Since the leather jacket represents my true self and identity, there is no reason for me to take it off or hide it.

Its going to disintegrate on my bones
The leather jacket is so essential and inseparable from me that it will be worn and torn until it becomes part of my bones and flesh.

I never should've put it on
Looking back, I shouldn't have started wearing the leather jacket because of the changes and challenges it brought to my life.

Cuz they said that it would change me
Others warned me that wearing the leather jacket would change who I am, but I didn't listen.

Well look at the way it changed me
Now that I have worn the leather jacket for a while, I can see how it has transformed me both inside and outside.

Now I got pockets that I can put things in
Wearing the leather jacket has given me a place and means to carry things that matter to me, both physically and emotionally.

You're gonna be so proud of me momma
I imagine my mother being proud of me for becoming my true self and expressing it through the leather jacket, despite the challenges.

I get my drugs for a hell of a deal
Wearing the leather jacket has introduced me to a network of people and opportunities, some of which involve drugs and risky behavior.

Now I'm hanging in this [?]
I'm now part of a subculture or scene that is associated with wearing leather jackets and engaging in risky behavior.

I read a Tennessee lullaby
I found inspiration and guidance in a song or poem by Tennessee Williams that resonated with my experience of wearing the leather jacket.

And it meant the whole world to me
The Tennessee lullaby spoke to me on a deep and personal level, and gave me the strength and conviction to keep wearing the leather jacket.

When it said that, that I could try it on
The Tennessee lullaby conveyed the idea that trying on and embracing a new identity or role is a powerful and liberating experience.

Well I tried it on
I embraced the idea and tried on the leather jacket, and it became my new identity and symbol of confidence.

And now I do what I wanna
Wearing the leather jacket has given me the freedom and courage to be my true self, and do whatever I want without fear or hesitation.

I ain't ever gonna take it off
I will always wear the leather jacket and stay true to my identity and values, no matter what.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'm emphatic and passionate about my commitment to wearing the leather jacket and expressing my true self.

They said it's gonna change me
Again, others warned me that the leather jacket would change me, but I still took the risk.

But I think that it has saved me
Ultimately, I feel that wearing the leather jacket has saved me from a life of conformity, doubt, and self-denial, and made me who I truly am.

Now I gonna die in, that leather jacket
I'm so committed to the leather jacket and my true self that I want to be buried or remembered wearing it.

Knowing all them years that I spent
I'm aware of the challenges, risks, and sacrifices that came with wearing the leather jacket, but I don't regret them.

Looking totally fucking awesome
Wearing the leather jacket has made me look and feel cool, attractive, and respected among my peers and community.

I would look so real
Thanks to the leather jacket and my true identity, I feel that I'm finally living a genuine, authentic, and believable life.
