Second Hand

[Verse 1]
In a dusty old church basement
My daddy lit his second cigarette
Spoke of all the years he wasted
Lettin' go of all those old regrets
And as I watch my own smoke settle
It's not too hard to understand
That so much of who I am today
Well, I just picked up secondhand

[Verse 2]
Was a time that I was searchin'
For somethin' I could call my own
Guess I didn't really have the goods
Now I'm rollin' over one more payday loan
Took a load down to the local pawn
Went back to work for my old man
Drivin' home tonight to the wife and kids
In a Plymouth that I bought secondhand

[Chorus]
Cactus growin' 'round that old blue van
We used to roll out across this land
Feelin' brave and free, we wеre singin' "Born to Run"
I go and visit her from time to timе
Sun settin' through that old red pine
Just held together with spare parts and duct tape 'til you’re done

[Verse 3]
I know I'm not the one she fell for
She smiles, but I can see it in her eyes
And when she stares into the distance
I know there's only so much she can hide
I’m headed to the tent revival
Where lost souls reach for Heaven's plan
I gotta find some kind of light tonight
Even if it's only secondhand

[Chorus]
Cactus growin' 'round that old blue van
We used to roll out across this land
So many times, I can't remember where we started from
I go and visit her from time to time
Sun settin' through that old red pine
Just held together with spare parts and duct tape 'til you’re done

[Verse 4]
In a dusty old church basement
My daddy lit another cigarette
Blew the smoke up to the ceilin'
Lettin' go of all those old regrets
And as I watch my own smoke settle
It's not too hard to understand
That so much of who I am today
Well, I just picked up secondhand

[Outro]
I just picked up secondhand
