Hand Me Downs

Somethin' 'bout a 1959

Three foot tall and five foot wide

Time machine spinnin' 45's

Makes you want to turn up the volume, doll

And when that static starts comin' through

And that needle finds a groove

I picture granddaddy when he bought it new

And grandma dancin' in her Sunday shoes

Right here in my livin' room

And nothin' beats the sound

Of a passed down Chevy when you crank it up

An old zip code, the way it wines with a little rust

My daddy's Gibson with nylon strings

I love hearin' that lever action

Cockin' that '22

The roar from an old Ford tractor

When I'm ploughin' through

It might be loud, but there ain't no doubt

That nothin' beats the sound of a hand me down

Well, I'm a sucker for the way-back-when's

Seems like all I own is second hand

If the paint is faded and it's wearin' thin

You can bet I'm gonna take it in

'Cause nothin' beats the sound

Of a passed down Chevy when you crank it up

An old zip code, the way it winds with a little rub

My daddy's Gibson with nylon strings

I love hearin' that lever action

Cockin' that '22

The roar from an old Ford tractor

When I'm ploughin' through

It might be loud, but there ain't no doubt

That nothin' beats the sound of a hand me down

And when your daddy walks you down the aisle

And he hands you away, I hope you're proud

And you loves the sound of this hand me down last name

Like I love the sound

Of a passed down Chevy, oh, when you crank it up

An old zip code, the way it winds with a little rub

My daddy's Gibson with nylon strings

I love hearin' that lever action

Cockin' that '22

The roar from an old Ford tractor

When I'm ploughin' through

It might be loud, but there ain't no doubt

That nothin' beats the sound of a hand me down

Yeah, nothin' beats the sound of a hand me down

Of a hand me down, yeah
