I Wish I Had Something lyrics

[Verse 1]
I borrowed this ol' overcoat when I was cold and broke in Omaha
I got this suit I'm wearin' from a Goodwill store somewhere in Arkansas
I've got ingrown toes from wearin' these guaranteed Salvation Army shoes

[Refrain]
Lord, I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used

[Verse 2]
This ol' car that I'm drivin' 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 courtin' has been everything but that a time or two

[Refrain]
And Lord, I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
And Lord, I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used
Lord, I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used
