Tim Hawkins: Yoga Pants

Editor’s Note: Enjoy this personal message from Tim Hawkins straight to us!

This may be the most amazing song I have ever written, or it may not be. Let the vagueness intrigue you. Don’t doubt me, though. These stanzas are about real life. As real as it gets. No music required — the lyrics will suffice to express the deepest part of my soul.

My wife was out for three days to visit her mom

I was supposed to cook and clean while she was gone

Somehow she never buckles under all the demands

I had to know her secret, I had to understand

Well I thought it might be coffee but that gives her the shakes

It might be soap operas but she says they’re too fake

It’s not the car she drives or what she puts in her hair

I realized it’s got to be something that she wears

Yoga pants, she wears them all day

Yoga pants, at work and at play

Yoga pants, what’s all the fuss?

What makes them so special that they keep them from us?

Yoga pants

Well any normal person would leave it alone

But I’m not a normal person and nobody was home

My wife was out of town and the kids were outside

I went into the bedroom and decided I would try… her

Yoga pants, so stretchy and thin

Yoga pants, feels like my own skin

I’ve never done yoga, but these make me want to try

Yoga pants, so soft and so sleek

Yoga pants, feels good on my cheeks

Yoga pants, I’ll just say thanks

I don’t wear yoga pants… I wear Spanx

Yoga pants
