Hand Me Downs

Daddy handed me his ‘63

sunburst epiphone

Said papaw bought it used but it was “Pawn Shop Gold”

My uncalloused fingers did their best to find the tone

On That 63 sunburst

Epiphone

Fourth in line to get to drive that short bed chevrolet

Brother said at 65 the steering starts to shake

But it will bring you home from church and back from B to A

In that been around the block, short bed chevrolet

The best things in life are better a little bit worn

You get what ya get and make a little bit more

can’t put a price tag

On all I’ve found

Growing up on hand me downs

That leather bound, King James on my bedside stand

Got mamas uncle through the jungles in Vietnam

Now I keep it close to fight off the demons I can’t

Blood stained Bible on my bedside stand

The best things in life are better a little bit worn

You get what ya get and make a little bit more

can’t put a price tag

On all I’ve found

Growing up on hand me downs

When these hand me downs

Get handed down some day

I’ll say

The best things in life are better a little bit worn

You get what ya get and make a little bit more

can’t put a price tag

On all I’ve found

Growing up on hand me downs

Growing up on hand me downs
