Karaoké Hand Me Downs Ashley McBryde

My first bike had a bana na seat on it

Bright orange with the sunshine on the side

The handle bent and my cousin didn't want it

So that summer I learned to ride

Hmm mmh hmm mmh

There's a worn out denim pearl snap in my closet and when I got it it was already gettin' old

The bottom's frayed and the color's gone

Even the hanger that it's hangin' on

Is wishin' I would let it go like some other things I know

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 walkin' around

In hand me downs

I'm a wreckin' 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

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 walkin' around

Oh in hand me downs

Oh and damn it

It's gonna take a long time

But if I can just understand it and leave somethin' 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

Oh in hand me downs

Hand me downs
