Myself and other musicians that I've met.
Story behind the song
Bill McCray is also a songwriter. I wanted to write a song one day but didn't have an idea. When I asked Bill he simply said to me Hand Me Down.
Lyrics

(TURN AROUND)
A A7 D Dm7 A E A E
A A7
One early mornin' just after three
D Dm
opened my eyes there was young Annalea
A E
She came in here and made a mess out of me [A]
A G F# F
got me up and walked me around
E E7 A
Left me hangin' in the corner like some hand-me-down
TURN AROUND
She gave me no warning no guarantee
Blind-sided by all her cruelty
She snuck in here got the best of me [A]
Used once and passed around
Left me down and dirty like some hand-me-down
TURN AROUND
D A
She wore her brother's holey jeans and her daddy's shirt
D A
but Annalea's all woman when she start's to flirt [B]
D D7
She can doctor your disease if you tell her where it hurts
E E7
She's the medicine to bring your feaver down
She gave me no warning no guarantee
Blind-sided by all her cruelty
She snuck in here got the best of me [A]
Used once and passed around
I ain't nothin' but another of your hand-me-downs
TURN AROUND
INSTRUMENTAL = 1 [A]
Must be some kind of doctor with a big degree
Look at the way she operated on me [B]
She opened me up, took my heart from my chest
and went back in for the rest
She gave me no warning no guarantee
Cross-eyed blind when she's bumpin' into me
She snuck in here got the best of me [A]
Annalea's just foolin' around
and fillin' the world with all her hand-me-downs
TURN AROUND
TURN AROUND
