I wore a black leather jacket way back in high school
And, man, looking back at these pictures of us, we were so cool
You were so hot in your pink lipstick
Painted on the end of a lit cigarette
And I loved you, girl, yeah, I loved you, girl
And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sitting next to you
Down by the river, you got the shivers, so I put it around you
We're counting down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
Three Polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
A little tattered and torn, it still keeps me warm on a Friday night
Bandanna patch from kicking some ass in a frat boy fight
You wore it in the stands at the football games
Some ink beneath the sleeve, I still wear your name
And I loved you, girl, yeah, I still love you, girl
And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sitting next to you
Down by the river, you got the shivers, so I put it around you
We're counting down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
Three Polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
I know you grew up, I grew up, too
You got two kids, hell, I got two kids, too
Thank God they look like you
And every night I put it back on and I'm sixteen sitting next to you
Down by the river, if you get the shivers, I'll put it around you
We're making them memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
Three words, two rings, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
Well, there's nothing in the world makes me feel more alive
When it's just you and me and the moon is high
I slip into the sleeves and with your hand in mine
I go back to the night when I fell into your eyes
Two kids just falling in love
And here we are right now, good heavens above
It's only getting better, baby
It's only getting better, baby
I just love that black, leather jacket
