Backstory:

An idea that morphed out of an internet post a few years ago.                                                                                                                       

Lyrics:

                                                  
SOME THINGS YOU DON’T THROW AWAY

V1
My old man was a fan of fixing things 
We never bought nothin’ new
Backdoor screens and washing machines
There was nothing duct tape couldn’t do 
I had hand-me-down toys, hand-me-down clothes
Ancient was all that we owned
Even the car sitting in our front yard 
Was more than twenty years old

Lift 1
When I was a kid, it embarrassed me to death
Daddy just laughed, shook his head and said 

Chorus
Keep it if you love it, fix it if it's broke
Some things you don't throw away
Son, you're gonna find the things that matter most
Ain’t easy to replace 
Some things you don’t throw away 

V2
When I left home, I was bound and determined
Not to live the way Daddy did 
If it was worn-out or old, it got thrown-out or sold
Without a tear being shed
So I hocked that watch my grandpa left me 
It never kept time worth a damn 
And my letter jacket – Goodwill could have it 
Back then I didn’t understand

Lift 2
Those are mistakes I’ve lived to regret 
It’s too late now, but I know what Daddy meant

(Chorus)

Bridge
So girl we’ve got our problems, that I can’t deny
But a love this good, you don’t just toss aside 

(Chorus)
