Lyrics to Old Hat

[Verse 1:]

Once upon a time

There was a girl

Running '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



[Chorus:]

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, no never be

Old hat



[Verse 2:]

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



[Chorus:]

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

But knowing that you're never ever coming back

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 [no, ooh]
