Big Man’s Hat

Lyrics

I used to wear a big man's hat In a big man's world You got to have a big man's hat In a big man's world But I was just a child then, I acted like a boy I bought my shirts at the Veterans Thrift I wore myself a fur-lined motorcycle jacket I had to have peg-legged jeans, I was one bad cat And don't you forget, I wore a big man's hat Oh, yes, a big man's hat I learned myself one good lick From a one lick man, oh, yes You got to know one good lick To play in a one lick band But I was just a child then I didn't know a thing, no, no, no I thought I had to talk like a fool I thought I had to drink like a goldfish I thought I had to lie like a dog, I was one sick cat Was all of this because I wore a big man's hat? A big man's hat I used to have a big man's thoughts In a young man's world You got to have big man's thoughts To make a big man's girl And when I finally made that girl She did not have a clue That I would break her like a matchstick That I could turn young love to the third world war I'd sit in the seat where the devil had sat That I could turn young love to the third world war I'd sit in the seat where the devil had sat That I could turn young love to the third world war I'd sit in the seat where the devil had sat That I could turn young love to the third world war I'd sit in the seat where the devil had sat Was all of this because Was all of this because Was all of this because All of this because I wore a big man's hat? Big man's hat Is there a rhyme and a reason A cause and effect? Was all of this directly related to the fact I wore a big man's hat? Is there a rhyme and a reason? A cause and effect? Was all of this directly related to the fact I wore a big man's hat? I wore, I wore, I wore a big man's hat I wore, I wore, I wore a big man's hat I wore a big man's hat I wore a big man's hat I wore a big man's hat Up upon my head I wore it, mm-hmm Up upon my head it sat Up upon my head I wore it I wore a big man's hat, that's right Up upon my head I wore it, oh, yeah Up upon my head it sat, mm-hmm Up upon my head I wore it I wore a big man's hat Did you know it, did you know it Did you know it Up upon my head I wore it, oh, yes, I did Up upon my head it sat, mm-hmm Up upon my head I wore it I wore a big man's hat (I wore, I wore) I wore a big man's hat (I wore, I wore) I wore a big man's hat, mm-hmm (I wore, I wore) I wore a big man's hat (I wore, I wore) (Big man's hat)
