[Verse 1]
Hangin' up in the back of the closet
White rice in a bag in the pocket
Two-piece covered in plastic
Most days, I look right past it, oh

[Verse 2]
Lipstick and champagne on the collar
Knees a little bit worn from the altar
Tight waist, little long in the seams
Don't fit like my blue jeans, oh
But I wouldn't change a thing

[Refrain]
I never know when I'm really gonna need it
I've buttoned up for some pretty big reasons
Good and bad and all life's seasons
I've been there a time or two
And when I do, I've got my black suit

[Verse 3]
Best man to a best friend when he's nervous
At Christmas Eve for a candlelight service
Pourin' rain with a name on a stone
Said goodbye with one red rose, oh
So many highs and lows
[Refrain]
I never know when I'm really gonna need it
I've buttoned up for some pretty big reasons
Good and bad and all life's seasons
I've been there a time or two
And when I do, I've got my black suit

[Chorus]
Black suit
I only pull it out when I have to
Tailor made for days when nothin' else will do
And I've gotta use
Oh, my black suit

[Bridge]
Some day when the sun sets on me (Oh)
Find a spot by a live oak tree (Oh)
And you know what to do
Put me in my boots

[Chorus]
And my black suit (In my black suit)
Yeah, in my black suit (In my black suit)
Oh, my black suit (In my black suit)
Yeah, my black suit
I only pull it out when I have to
Tailor made for days when nothin' else will do (Tailor made for days)
And I've gotta use (I've gotta use)
My black suit
Yeah, my black suit
