Story Behind The Song
This song is a spin off of another song I co-wrote, called Grandmas Auction.

Lyrics
Second Hand Store
You can't buy love in a secondhand store
You can't buy love it it ain't there anymore
You can find most memories and maybe even more
You can't buy love in a second hand store
Candle sticks and old red bricks and wicker for the hall
Silverware and mirrors you can hang upon the wall
Indian rugs and trains that chugg and little china dolls
You can't find your happiness if it ain't up on the wall
You can't buy love in a secondhand store
You can't buy love it it ain't there anymore
You can find most memories and maybe even more
You can't buy love in a second hand store
Bassinetts and fishing nets and quilts all made by hand
old steal pots and wooden chairs and plows to work the land
Old cream cans hammer and nails are things that you can use to fill your heart and take the part of love that you might lose.
You can't buy love in a secondhand store
You can't buy love it it ain't there anymore
You can find most memories and maybe even more
You can't buy love in a second hand store
You can't buy love in a secondhand store
You can't buy love it it ain't there anymore
You can find most memories and maybe even more
You can't buy love in a second hand store
