Lyrics | Second Hand Satin Lady (And A Bargain Basement Boy) (1979)
Well I bet we sure look shabby to the pryin' 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
Livin' 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 stuffin' showin' through
But it's heaven when I'm lyin' 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
Livin' proof that the hard times can be the good times, too
Honey if I'm with you
We can see the crack in the ceilin' when we're lyin' here at night
Dreamin' 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
