Hand Me Down

Sittin' in the backseat of daddy's old Chevrolet

12 years old, going to the family fishing hole

Parked by the dock in the shade of the willow tree

My dad looks back and he hands a pole to me

There's a whole lot of country folk waitin' around

To get their first hand me down

The very first one was grandaddy's buckle

Then some boots and a truck and a piece of land

Dreaming 'bout the day you'd walk down the aisle

Get married, have kids

And spend a little while

On that fenced in farm, that piece of land, that

Hand me down

Sittin' in the front seat of the old Chevrolet

30 years old, driving to the family fishing hole

Standing on the dock in the shade of the willow tree

My boyfriend looks back and says

"Will you marry me?"

I was breathing fast as you held my hand

I whispered "Yes" on that piece of land

There's a whole lot of country folk waitin' around

To get their first hand me down

The very first one was grandaddy's buckle

Then some boots and a truck and a piece of land

Dreaming 'bout the day you'd walk down the aisle

Get married, have kids

And spend a little while

On that fenced in farm, that piece of land, that

That hand me down

Just hand me down

Sittin' in the backseat

Of the old Chevrolet

There's a whole lot of country folk waitin' around

To get their first hand me down

The very first one was grandaddy's buckle

Then some boots and a truck and a piece of land

Dreaming 'bout the day you'd walk down the aisle

Get married, have kids

And spend a little while

On that fenced in farm, that piece of land

That hand me down

That hand me down

There's a whole lot of country folk waitin' around

To get their first hand me down

(That hand me down)

Standin' on the dock in the shade of the willow tree

(That hand me down)

That hand me down
