Lyrics

Verse 1:
Red heels seven years old
Blue velvet coat with a silver broach
Showing off for the neighborhood kids
Pretending I’m a lady like she is

That old cedar room was chock-full of treasure
Every time I’d go in, I’d come out lookin better

Chorus:
In grandmas closet I go back in time
Every thread holds a story to unwind
I’m wearing more than lace and fur
It’s like slippin on a piece of her
I’d never look this good if I’d have bought it
Dressin up in grandmas closest

Verse Two:
There’s a ‘56 letterman jacket
Grandpa let her wear those black and gold patches
After the game ‘neath a Champaign’s sky
Talking all night on the 50 yard line

It’s still hanging up worn and cracked leather
That coat saw the first kiss that lasted forever

Chorus:
In grandmas closet I go back in time
Every thread holds a story to unwind
I’m wearing more than lace and fur
It’s like slippin on a piece of her
I’d never look this good if I’d have bought it
Dressin up in grandmas closest

Bridge:
I can see her dancing in a red satin prom dress
Her eyes light up when she opened that locket
A lifetime fit in one little space
So many memories all tucked away
In Grandma’s closet
In Grandma’s closet
