Recorded by Vern Gosdin Written by Rex Gosdin

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

F              C                Dm       G7   C
Secondhand and hand-me-downs is all I've ever known

    F               C
The car I drive the clothes I wear

    D7              G7
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
