Tears on My Tight Leather

[Verse 1] Sat alone in the green room light Last beer warm, last fan outta sight The mirror cracked, just like my plans Still smell her perfume on my mic stand I gave her songs, I gave her fame She gave me crabs and her ex’s name But I meant it when I said “forever” Now I’m cryin’ in tight black leather [Chorus] Tears on my tight leather Fallin’ slow like a power chord She said “Rick, we don’t belong together” Then rode off with the bass player in my Ford Yeah, tears on my tight leather This heartbreak don’t breathe or bend But I’ll wear these pants through any weather ‘Cause glam never dies — it just pretends [Verse 2] I wrote our names on a motel wall Right under “Call Donna — for a good crawl” She said “You only love the crowd” But the crowd don’t leave me cryin’ out loud Leather don’t stretch, but it holds me tight Like the echo of a backstage fight I begged, I swore, I even played clever But she still left me zipped in leather [Chorus] Tears on my tight leather Fallin’ soft as a pyro fade She kissed my ring and said “Whatever” While takin’ half my stash and my spade Yeah, tears on my tight leather Shinin’ like a final encore And if this is love, then it’s now or never But baby — don’t text me anymore [Bridge] “She was the only one who ever cleaned my stage boots… She understood the zipper wasn’t just functional — it was a metaphor. Now it’s just me… and the squeak.” [Final Chorus] Tears on my tight leather Drippin’ down like a whiskey spill I’d take her back, even without the pleasure But the silence now is louder still Tears on my tight leather Soaked in love and cheap cologne Yeah, I rock this pain like patent treasure And cry in leather — all alone
