Hat Full of Feathers |
| I was almost full grown gettin' wide in the shoulders |
| Rubbin' my horns on a tree |
| When I noticed that ladies had big eyes for cowboys |
| They weren’t noticin' me |
| I bought me a Stetson and all of the trappin’s |
| Hung out where cowboys all gathered |
| I copied their style and their slow way of talkin' |
| Walked like I was chaffed by the leather |
| I tasted the smiles of the rodeo queens |
| And I lied about rides that I’d made |
| Then a honker from Jasper I’d been lustin' after |
| Said I’ll be out to watch you today |
| Oh the riggin' was borrowed but the fear was my own |
| It was me and all hell tied together |
| Too damn scared to fall boys I won it all |
| And that’s how I got my first feather |
| A feather for ev’ry event that I’ve won |
| I will be a contender forever |
| An all around cowboy I outrode 'em all |
| And I got me a hat full of feathers |
| Well I feathered my hat through a lot of hard miles |
| Swapped bruises in a lot of good towns |
| Lord how many cowboys and ladies and bronks |
| Have left me laid out on the ground I don’t know |
| I’ve had ev’ry bone broken and son I ain’t jokin' |
| It’s painful to be wired together |
| I ain’t quiet so proud as I was awhile ago |
| But I got me a hat full of feathers |
| A feather for ev’ry event that I’ve won |
| And all of the storms I have weathered |
| An all around cowboy holdin' my own |
| With a shabby ole hat full of feathers |
