Once upon a time
There was a girl
Runnin' 'round in her daddy's old truck
Couldn't wait to see the world 
And shake off that old dust
And once upon a dream 
There was a land
Of bright lights and big city
Boys were fast
And the girls talked pretty

Then one day 
I got the call 

Now I got your old hat
I put it on sometimes 
When I wish I knew what you would do
And needed some advice 
I've got your old hat
And every now and then 
I wear it backwards even though you hated that 
And I swear I can almost hear you laugh 
It's sun kissed 
And it's sweat stained
It's too big and it's right brained
But knowing that you're never ever coming back 
That'll never be, oh never be
Old hat

The years, they roll on by
And when the days are black 
And the nights are blue
I've give anything 
Just to talk to you 

Guess it's the little things 
That get you through 

And I've got your old hat
I put it on sometimes 
When I wish I knew what you would do
And I needed some advice 
I've got your old hat 
And every now and then 
I wear it backwards even though you hated that 
And I swear I can almost hear you laugh 
It's sun kissed 
And it's sweat stained 
Too big, and it's right brained 
It's seen sun ups and sun downs
It's beat up 
And it's worn out
And everybody says it's seen it's better days 
And I let 'em throw everything else away 
But your old hat
