This Old Hat

This old hat With its sweat lines and dirty creases Was the first thing that I'd seen when He'd come home This old hat Has seen its share funeral flowers And back breakin' hard work hours Worked to the bone This old hat If it could talk would tell a story Of a good man who loved the lord and Honored truth This old hat Was the first thing that I looked for As I ran through momma's front door When I heard the news You never know until it's all taken away You just hope you said all the things you needed to say This old hat Is like my father's love It's worn and tattered but still enough To keep me sheltered from the rain and floods In 2 seconds flat This old hat This old hat Is what I'll show my little daughter When she asks about my father And who he was I'll say this old hat Is West Texas when it freezes It's oil fields and deer leases And burning sun It's perfect love This old hat Is like my father's love It's worn and tattered but still enough To keep me sheltered from the rain and floods In 2 seconds flat This old hat This old hat Is like my father's love It's worn and tattered but still enough To keep me sheltered from the rain and floods In 2 seconds flat This old hat
