faces - three button hand me down (live on in concert, 2/8/73) lyrics

[verse 1]
i don’t need no one’s opinion
on the matter concerning my dress
i was raised in a clinic down in oklahoma
there were many things i did not possess
“you know your finer self be forgettin’ me, boy”
i’ve forgotten all of these words
remember what my father said, son
i’ll make you buy the open road

[chorus]
he said, “others may come and others may go
but that suit will be around wherever i go”
three b+tton hand me down
three b+tton hand me down

[verse 2]
i’ve never been a tidy dresser
and the fold in my trousers it ain’t straight
still i know a good cloth when i see one
that’s why i’m clad in this gray flannel suit
sometimes i wonder if i should visit a tailor
and get myself a smooth outfit
remember what my father said, son
i’ll make you buy the open road
[chorus]
“others may come and others may go
but that suit will be around wherever you’re goin'”
three b+tton hand me down
three b+tton hand me down

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
i’ve never been a tidy dresser
and the fold in my trousers it ain’t straight
know a good cloth when i see one
that’s why i’m clad in this gray flannel suit
sometimes i wonder if i should visit a tailor
and get myself a smooth outfit
i remember what my father said, son
i’ll make you buy the open road

[chorus]
“others may come and others may go
but that suit will be around wherever you’re goin'”
three b+tton hand me down
three b+tton hand me down
three b+tton hand me down
three b+tton hand me down
three b+tton hand me down
three b+tton hand me down
[outro]
do you remember that program? fantastic audience
showing your age, isn’t he, audience?
