Hand Me Downs
Janelle Arthur/ Dolly Parton
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Grandma gave my mama her diamond rings
They were mine on the day I turned 18
Didn't need resizin' cause we all got the same little hands
And we like to talk with them
Verse 2:
Dark brown eyes and a heart worn on a sleeve
Can't turn down Hot Now at the Krispy Kreme
Just like my daddy, I got all that and a strong, stubborn streak
Guess I get it honestly
Chorus:
This blood that's runnin' through my veins
Is givin' my life in my last name
From the inside out, I'm covered in hand me downs
All I've been givеn, I'll pass it on
I've learned to lovе who I've become from the inside out
Covered in hand me downs
Verse 3:
Grandpa liked to wear his bible out
He's in heaven and it's on my dresser now
Everything he underlined is like it was meant for me
And now I believe
Chorus:
This blood that's runnin' through my veins
Is givin' my life in my last name
From the inside out, I'm covered in hand me downs
All I've been given, I'll pass it on
I've learned to love who I've become from the inside out
Covered in hand me downs
Chorus:
This blood that's runnin' through my veins
Is givin' my life in my last name
From the inside out, I'm covered in hand me downs
If I ever have a daughter of my own
I'll raise her up, I'll watch her grow from the inside out
Covered in hand me downs
