| This old box full of hats
|
| I dust off the grime all the time
|
| My grandfather spent working his life away
|
| Just so he and his wife could make
|
| Good memories and children
|
| This old box
|
| Full of good memories
|
| Fond as the day they were made
|
| Oh all the time
|
| My grandfather spent working his life away
|
| He could come home and say
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| Working so hard to keep it
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| And that’s why I keep working so hard
|
| These old hats
|
| Worn by many men
|
| That a family in a country made
|
| No regular hand me downs
|
| Valued like family crowns
|
| In a cardboard treasure box
|
| So these men can come home and say
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| Working so hard to keep it
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| And that’s why I keep working so hard
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| Working so hard to keep it
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| And that’s why I keep working so hard
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| Working so hard to keep it
|
| This is where I lay my hat down
|
| I come around strong, willing
|
| And that’s why I keep working so hard |
