LYLE LOVETT
"Pants Is Overrated"

Oh, the nighttime air was fairly breezin'
Well, it was cold, but not quite freezin'
So I looked around to find my trousers
And this voice inside my head grew louder

[Chorus:]
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

I'da never made it out that window (Out the window)
If I'da even put just one leg in though
Well, as it was the circumstance
I gladly lost my favorite pants

[Chorus:]
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

[Instrumental break]

My people from across the pond
They hail from Scotland and beyond (Hey, yeah, yeah, hey)
Where sheep make wool for socks and shirts
And grown men run around in skirts

[Chorus:]
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

[Bridge:]
See the little sheepies big and fat
Standing on the hillside, standing in the meadow
See the little sheepies big and fat
They're makin' me a sweater, they're makin' me a hat

Lord Jesus knew just what to wear (Oh, yes, He did, yes, He did)
Oh, to live a life in desert air (Ooh)
He walked the earth in poor man's shoes
And sang this ninth Beatitude

[Chorus:]
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

Now as I sit here in my jeans
Well, I think about what this all means
And children come into this world
Without a stitch on, boy or girl

[Chorus:]
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

[Outro:]
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
