Right behind my left pocket That is where you'll feel my soul It's been with me many winters N.C. 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 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 then give 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 wasn't staying 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
