I Wish I Had Something

(álbum: Rough Around The Edges - 1988)

I borrowed this ol' overcoat when I was cold and broke in Omaha
I got this suit I'm wearing from a Goodwill store somewhere in Arkansas
I've got ingrown toes from wearing these guaranteed Salvation Army shoes

Lord, I wish that I had something no one else before me ever used

This ol' car that I'm driving has known a lot of highway in its time
But that was long before I saved enough to buy it from this friend of mine
And the lady that I'm courting has been everything but that a time or two

And Lord, I wish that I had something no one else before me ever used

Secondhand and hand-me-downs is all I've ever known
The car I drive, the clothes I wear, the women that I've known
I feel about as up to date as the headlines in last year's daily news

And Lord, I wish that I had something no one else before me ever used
Lord, I wish that I had something no one else before me ever used
