Three Button Hand Me Down

[offset:0]
I dont need no ones opinion
On the matter concerning my dress
I was raised in a clinic down in oklahoma
There were many things I did not possess
I never complained because my father said
'son youll get your chance before youre my age'
Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit
Written all over his face
He said 'others may come and others may go
But that suit will be around wherever youre goin'
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
Now I have my fair share of neat women
But they came between me and my suit
That was a filly from boston a barmaid from houston
Not forgetting the one in detroit
They said 'we like you boy and we think youre sweet
But cant you lose your suit '
I said 'no you cant do that to me'
I remember what my father said:
He said 'others may come and others may go
But that suit will be around wherever youre goin'
Three button hand me down ha ha
Three button hand me down
Ive never been a tidy dresser
And the fold in my trousers it aint straight
Still I know a good cloth when I see one
Thats why Im clad in this gray flannel suit
Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit
Then I remember what my father said to me
Ill make you from the open road
He said 'others may come and others may go
But that suit will be around wherever you go'
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
