I borrowed this ol’ overcoat when I was cold and broke in Omaha I got this suit I’m wearin’ from a Goodwill store somewhere in Arkansas I’ve got ingrown toes from wearin’ these guaranteed Salvation Army shoes
Lord, I wish that I had somethin’ no one else before me ever used
This ol’ car that I’m drivin’ has known a lot of highway in its time But that was long before I saved enough to buy it from this friend of mine And the lady that I’m courtin’ has been everything but that a time or two
And Lord, I wish that I had somethin’ no one else before me ever used
Secondhand and hand-me-downs is all I’ve ever known The car I drive, the clothes I wear, the women that I’ve known I feel about as up to date as the headlines in last year’s daily news
And Lord, I wish that I had somethin’ no one else before me ever used Lord, I wish that I had somethin’ no one else before me ever used
