"Second-Hand Satin Lady" lyrics

Second-Hand Satin Lady

Well, I bet we sure look shabby
To the prying eyes of town
You in your tattered dungarees
Me in my hand-me-downs

All they see of you and me
Are the worn out clothes we wear
They don't see the rich love
That we share

For a second-hand satin lady
And a bargain basement boy
You're my ragged angel
I'm your shabby pride and joy

In your Salvation Army dress
And me in my Goodwill shoes
Living proof that the hard times
Can be the good times too

That old junk store kitchen table
Well, it's about to fall right down
And the curtains you made sure fit quite well
With that old stuffed chair we found

That old lumpy bed in the bedroom
Has the stuffing showing through
But it's heaven
When I'm lying next to you

For a second-hand satin lady
And a bargain basement boy
You're my ragged angel
I'm your shabby pride and joy

In your Salvation Army dress
And me in my Goodwill shoes
Living proof that the hard times
Can be the good times too
Honey, if I'm with you

We can see the crack in the ceiling
When we're lying here at night
Dreaming our dreams together
In the glare of the one bare light

But, honey, if the dreams we dream
Do or don't come true
I'm still gonna be right here
To dream with you

I'll gladly go
Through the hardest times with you
Oh, honey, I can make it
Long as I got you
