Hand Me Downs

Lyrics

My first bike had a banana seat on it Bright orange with a sunshine on the side The handle bent and my cousin didn't want it So that summer I learned to ride, mm [Verse 2] There's a worn-out denim pearl snap in my closet When I got it, it was already getting old The bottom's frayed and the color's gone Even the hanger that it's hanging on is wishing I would let it go Like some other things I know [Chorus] Daddy's anger and his pride My mama's sadness she taught me how to hide There ain't a damn thing that's ever just been minе I'm out here walking around in hand-me-downs [Verse 3] I'm a wrеcking ball when I get lonely Courtesy of my old man's old man, and his old man And that ain't the kind of heirloom that I wanted Oh, and don't it make me think I'm only made of broken things that I can't stand [Chorus] Like Daddy's anger and his pride My mama's sadness she taught me how to hide There ain't a damn thing that's ever just been mine I'm out here walking around, oh, in hand-me-downs [Bridge] Oh, and damn it, it's gonna take a long time But if I can just understand it and leave something better behind And if that's the only thing that's ever just mine They won't put me in the ground, oh, in hand-me-downs Hand-me-downs [Outro] Oh, in hand-me-downs Hand-me-downs
