Well, I found a pair of Levis in Pawpaw’s old chest
They were worn and they were tattered, but I knew they were the best
I slipped ’em on my legs and I felt like a king
Little did I know these jeans would mean everything
Blood stained 501’s, oh the memories they hold
Of good times and bad, and stories yet untold
From bars to the cornfields, they’ve been with me all the way
Blood stained 501’s, they’re a part of me today
I wore ’em on the day I got married to my love
And when my daughter was born, they were the only thing I had on
They’ve seen me through heartache, and they’ve seen me through joy
When my time is up, I’ll pass ’em on to my boy
Blood stained 501’s, oh the memories they hold
Of good times and bad, and stories yet untold
From bars to the cornfields, they’ve been with me all the way
Blood stained 501’s, they’re a part of me today
They’re a symbol of the life that I’ve lived
The scars and the stains, the highs and the lows
And even when I’m gone, they’ll carry on
As a testimony to the life I chose
Blood stained 501’s, oh the memories they hold
Of good times and bad, and stories yet untold
From bars to the cornfields, they’ve been with me all the way
Blood stained 501’s, they’re a part of me today
Blood stained 501’s, they’ll never fade away
Blood stained 501’s, they’re here to stay
