Abc Gum

What’s the difference between now and then why was life so much better way back when Might be it was because we had no care when it comes to talking ‘bout how we’d share Whether was clothes, a coke, secrets or shoes or anything else I thought you could use No worries sharing things we were doing we even shared the gum we’d been chewing

I know it was a common practice in rural America. Mostly among smaller children. Hand me down clothes, hand me down shoes, hand me down gum, that's already been chewed. I think it would be a hit song.
