Lyrics

[Verse 1] This old hat With its sweat lines and dirty creases Was the first thing that I'd see when he'd come home This old hat Has seen its share of 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 And this old hat Was the first thing that I looked for As I ran through mama's front door when I heard the news [Refrain] You never know until it's taken away You just hope you said all the things you needed to say [Chorus] This old hat is like my father's love It's worn and tattered but still enough To keep me sheltered from thе rain and floods In two seconds flat This old hat [Verse 2] This old hat Is what I'll show my little daughter Whеn 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 [Chorus] 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 two seconds flat This old hat [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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 two seconds flat This old hat
