Well there's always been groups of people that never could see eye to eye And I always thought if they ever had a chance to sit down and talk face to face They might realize they got a lot in common
Well I was sittin' in a coffee shop Just havin' a cup to pass the time Swappin' rodeo stories with this old cowboy friend of mine When some motorcycle riders started snickerin' in the back Started pokin' fun at my friend's hat One ol' boy said "Hey Tex where'd you park your horse?" My friend just pulled his hat down low but they couldn't be ignored One husky fella said "I think I'll rip that hat right off your head." That's when my friend turned around and this is what he said
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky Rope an old Blue Northern and milk it till it's dry Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Long before you take this cowboy's hat
"Now partner,this old hat is better left alone You see it used to be my daddy's But last year he passed on My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this ol' hatband And back in '69 he died in Vietnam Now the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine But somebody ran him down somewhere around that Arizona line And a real special lady gave me this hat pin But I don't know if I'll ever see her again
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky Rope an ol Blue Norther and milk it till it's dry Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Long before you take this cowboy's hat
"Now,if that old leather jaket means to you what this hat means to me Well,I guess we understand each other and we'll just let it be But if you still think it's funny, you've got my back up against the wall And if you touch my hat,you're gonna have to fight us all" Well right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's eyes And he turned back to the others and they all just kinda shuffled on outside But when my friend turned back towards me I noticed his ol' hat brim Well it was turned up in a big ol' Texas grin
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky Rope an ol Blue Norther and milk it till it's dry Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Long before you take this cowboy's hat"
