Hand Me Downs

You went through five schools

Before you were 17

I can only guess what

Those brown eyes have seen

If we're just a blank slate

Mixed with a little bit of DNA

And those weekend visits

When you show up late

When I feel helpless

I see you smiling back at me

Like every little thing is gonna be okay

Yeah, you're a tough kid

Way tougher than me

I'll put a bet on you any day

Oh when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right

Oh but you push on through, don't be denied it

Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town

From the clothes on your back to the colour of your eyes

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

No, it never made sense

But it's the only thing that you know

Yeah, that resentment

Well, it comes and goes

In your daddy's defence

Nah, he never really stood a chance

You should see where he came from

And how his brothers ended up

But we all get stuck, but babe

You've been acting reckless

To deal with the pain

I just hope you don't get carried away

And you wear this necklace

From graduation day

You said "I'll wear this chain, 'cause I'm breaking it

Yeah, I'll wear this chain, 'cause I'm breaking it"

Woo

Oh when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right

Oh but you push on through, don't be denied it

Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town

From the clothes on your back to the colour of your eyes

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

First of the month

Gets you stressed out

And movin' trucks

They bring you right back

Deep in the cut

There's a voice that's callin' out, sayin'

It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing

It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing

It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing

It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing

Oh when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right

Oh but you push on through, don't be denied

Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town

From the clothes on your back to the colour of your eyes

From the clothes on your back to the colour of your eyes

From the clothes on your back to the colour of your eyes

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
