Lyrics for Song: From Levis to Calvin Klein Jeans
Lyrics for Album: Only When I Laugh [MCA] [1981]
(R.D.Runyeon - R.Lathrop)
From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems from Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans?
The life that your living don't fit cowboy boots
But you fit fight in with your new Gucci shoes
Your wearing gold plated glasses and solid gold chains
I doubt if the country will see you again.
From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems from Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans?
The tan on your face has turned cally white
Riding those bar stools don't let in sun light
I can tell by the look that I see in your eyes
You yearn for the country and wide open skies.
From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems from Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans?
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans?...

Recorded for the 1981 soundtrack of the television movie Only When I Laugh, this track highlights Lee's ability to remain relevant across decades. While best known for her 1950s and 1960s pop and rockabilly hits, this later recording demonstrates her continued engagement with contemporary themes. The song reflects a shift in cultural fashion, yet Lee's delivery maintains the emotional depth and clarity that defined her legendary career. It stands as a testament to her versatility, bridging the gap between her classic country-pop roots and the changing landscape of early 1980s entertainment. This recording remains a notable song in her extensive discography, showcasing her adaptability to new genres and storytelling formats. |
