Secondhand by Justin Latam & The Stride
Secondhand is the follow up single to Stray Dog. Secondhand continues to look at the world though the lens of a Stray Dog. Themes of resilience and resourcefulness are explored, as well as the feeling of being grateful for what one does have. This song is the antithesis of throw-away society.

Lyrics
Welcome to my humble abode
Yeah, it's a dumpster but hey! that's my home
C'mon sit right down, share my last bone
Yeah, it's been all around but hey! that's my own
Secondhand don't mean second best
There's a bak'ry tosses out old bread
Yeah, it's hard as a rock, but hey! it's how I'm fed
You've got a chill, here take this coat
Yeah, it's got holes and patches but hey! that's my clothes
Secondhand don't mean second best
It's not worn out
It's just worn in
Don't pass it down
Pass it on again
It's not worn out
It's just worn in
Don't pass it down
Leavin' paw prints? That don't bother me
Yeah, it's all muddy but hey! It's where we've been
Go have a drink anytime we wish
Yeah, it's an alley puddle but hey! It's my water dish
Secondhand don't mean second best
No bones about it!
No bones about it!
It's not worn out
It's just worn in
Don't pass it down
Pass it on again
It's not worn out
It's just worn in
Don't pass it down
