This hat knew the second that it tried me on It belonged right on my head See this hat has got my name in the band Sweat rings in the tan red dirt from Alabama Seen fire rain and thunder Lot of plates on some bumpers Heard a lot of prayers that sent the devil running It's rugged It's got soul Rode in style a million miles of rollin' down troubadour road On the soul South of Bama hammer down to load in Trying to get back home And love on the one and only one that'll let me take off this hat See this hat has got some bend in the brim From running against the wind I ain't done breaking in See this hat has seen five star hotels Woke up in jail Been soaked in top shelf Been Mississippi low High on the left coast Shot a lot of bull And blown a lot of smoke It's rugged It's got soul Rode in style a million miles of rollin' down troubadour road On the soul South of Bama hammer down to load in Trying to get back home And love on the one and only one that'll let me take off this hat You can bury me brother in Johnny Cash black Fold my hands right across this hat It's rugged It's got soul Rode in style a million miles of rollin' down troubadour road On the soul South of Bama hammer down to load in Trying to get back home And love on the one and only one that'll let me take off this hat The one and only one that'll let me take off this hat
