Hats Off

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The stage is set tonight down in Nashville It's been a long, hard ride into town And thanks to some cowboys and heroes My chance to sing has finally come around [Verse 2] The first song I ever sang was Haggard's Momma sang to me, "I Saw the Light" And I'd turn my radio up louder To hear Johnny Cash "Walk the Line" Mmmm [Verse 3] Ol' Waylon sang the songs about Texas Willie's blue eyes, cryin' in the rain Bocephus sang the songs about Dixie And Lefty taught us, all how to sing [Chorus] Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Riding somewhere tonight Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Wanted, dead or alive [Verse 4] Well, Charlie ran the Devil out of Georgia Skynyrd sang of sweet home Alabam' The Allman Brothers taught us how to ramble And the Tucker boys showed us how to jam [Chorus] Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Riding somewhere tonight Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Wanted, dead or alive [Verse 5] Well, the stage is set tonight up in Heaven And Reba's band is there with Patsy Cline And all around there's cowboys and cowgirls And thanks to them, the music's still alive [Chorus] Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Riding somewhere tonight Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Wanted, dead or alive
