Hand Me Downs

Lyrics

You went through five high schools, before you were 17
 I can only guess what
 Those brown eyes have seen
 If we're just a blank state
 Mixed with a little bit of DNA
 And those weekends visit when he'd show up late
 When I feel helpless
 I see you smiling back at me
 Like every little thing is gonna be okay
 Ya, 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
 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
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 No, never made sense
 But it's the only thing that you know
 That resentment
 Well it comes and goes
 In your daddy's defence
 Now he never really stood a change
 You should see where he came from
 And how his brothers ended up
 We get all stuck, but babe
 You've been acting reckless, to deal with the pain
 I just hope you don't get carried away
 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
 (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
 Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 First of the month, gets you stressed out
 And moving trucks, bring you right back
 Deep in the cut, there's a voice that's calling out
 Saying, "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 ya 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
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
 (Oh-oh-oh)
 Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
