C
I borrowed this ol' overcoat
Dm
When I was cold and broke in Omaha
G7
I got this suit I'm wearin'
C
From a Goodwill store somewhere in Arkansas
I've got ingrown toes from wearin'
F
These guaranteed Salvation Army shoes
G7
Lord I wish that I had somethin'
C
No one else before me ever used
This ol' car that I'm drivin'
Dm
Has known a lot of highway in its time
G7
But that was long before
C
I saved enough to buy it from this friend of mine
And the lady that I'm courtin'
F
Has been everything but that a time or two
G7
And Lord I wish that I had somethin'
C
No one else before me ever used
FCDmG7C
Secondhand and hand-me-downs is all I've ever known
FC
The car I drive the clothes I wear
D7G7
The women that I've known
C
I feel about as up to date
F
As the headlines in last year's daily news
G7
And Lord I wish that I had somethin'
C
No one else before me ever used
G7
Lord I wish that I had somethin'
C
No one else before me ever used
