Someday they'll find your small town world on a big town avenue
|
Gonna make you like the way they talk when they're talking to you
|
Gonna make you break out of YOUR shell cause they tell you to
|
Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth
|
They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say
|
They're gonna break your heart, yeah
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
From what I've seen
|
You're just one more hand me down
|
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
|
So lay all your troubles down
|
I am with you now
|
|
Somebody OUGHTA take you in
|
Try to make you love again
|
Try to make you like the way they feel
|
When they're under your skin
|
Never once did you think they would lie when they're holding you
|
You wonder why they haven't called
|
When they said they'd call you
|
You start to wonder if you're ever gonna make it by
|
You'll start to think you were born blind
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
From what I've seen
|
You're just one more hand me down
|
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
|
So lay all your troubles down
|
I am with you now
|
|
I'm here for the hard times
|
The straight to your heart times
|
When livin' ain't easy
|
You can stand up against me
|
And MAYBE rely on me
|
And cry on me, yeah
|
|
Some day they'll open up your world
|
Shake YOU down to the drawing board
|
Do their best to change you
|
They still can't erase you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
From what I've seen
|
You're just one more hand me down
|
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
|
So lay all your troubles down
|
I am with you now
|
|
Lay them down on me
|
Oh yeah
|
You're just one more hand me down
|
And all those nights don't give you what you need
|
So lay all your troubles down...on me
|
